‘Every day they are insulting people’: President Barrow vows to stop political events after December election

President Adama Barrow vowed Sunday to put an end to all political meetings requiring police permit after the December presidential election.

Speaking to Gambians at State House, the president said: “Since I took over in 2017 you have people who are still doing politics. The politics cannot end. Every day they are beating drums, they are blocking roads. Every day they are on the social media, every day they are insulting people.

“That will end on December 4 after the victory. We will give instruction to the Inspector General of Police and anyone who applies for a permit will not get a permit. Because we want to continue working. The meeting you’re having, blocking roads does not benefit the country in any way.”
