Dr Ismaila Ceesay has vowed to appeal the decision of the IEC to reject his nomination for want of signatures.
The IEC said CA and Dr Ceesay could not collect 200 signatures from Banjul as required by law.
In a video message on Saturday, Dr Ceesay vowed to appeal the decision of the IEC as he called on his supporters to remain calm.
“I want to make it clear that we submitted over 250 signatures or nominations from Banjul but IEC is saying that what they have is less than 200. Just to let you know that we have made a decision to appeal this decision by the IEC. By tomorrow we will send in the appeal and we will wait for the outcome of the IEC and then we will keep you updated,” Dr Ceesay said.
Dr Ceesay has also called on his supporters to remain calm.
“We know it’s a difficult moment for all party members, supporters and sympathizers but we urge everyone to stay calm while we follow due process,” he write while sharing his video message.
