Gambia for Five Years and Peace-building will stage a protest on Sunday to demand that President Adama Barrow serve a full five-year term.
The group’s secretary general told The Fatu Network on Tuesday their protest will be in the form of a procession from Sting Corner to Denton Bridge. Thousands of Gambians are expected to take part in the protest.
Ebrima Sorie Bah said: “[300,000] was the target but when we reconciled the projections we realised that we can bring only about 100,000. The t-shirts are being printed, we are printing as much as possible.
“The rendezvous is from Sting Corner to 200 meters from the Denton Bridge. It’s going to be a be in a procession form. We’re going to appear in our t-shirts, with our placards and banners. Of course, we’re going to petition the president for him to respect the constitutionally sanctioned mandate.”
According to Mr Sorie Bah, if they fail to prevail on President Barrow to serve for five years through their protest, they will use other means.
“We will have plan B of course. We will continue to exert pressure on the president to respect the constitution of The Gambia,” he said.
