UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has vowed that he will not preside over a government that will engage in retribution.
Mr Darboe made the vow during UDP’s big rally held in Sukuta this past Saturday.
Mr Darboe said: “I Ousainou Darboe will not head any government that will go after people to exact revenge. We will not do that. What I know is that before you seek revenge on someone, the person must have done something bad to you.
“When I came out of prison on the 5th of December 2016 before I got home reporters asked me and I told them I have forgiven Yahya Jammeh for all he has done to me. That what I only cannot forgive him for is what the law has instructed.
“I know that a politician in Africa especially one who challenges a dictator will go to prison and will be arrested and tortured. I had expected all of that. That is why I said I have forgiven him.”
