Dr Ismaila Ceesay confirms he will indeed contest December election

Dr Ismaila Ceesay has categorically said he will contest the December presidential election as a presidential candidate.

“Yes, Dr Ismaila Ceesay is going to contest as a presidential candidate,” the former university lecturer told The Fatu Network in an exclusive interview.

The comments come amid chatter most of the country’s 17 or more political leaders may not end up contesting the election.

Ceesay will battle it out for the country’s top job with the likes of President Adama Barrow, PDOIS battle axe Halifa Sallah and UDP leader Ousainou Darboe.
