IEC rejects appeals of six aggrieved candidates

The Independent Electoral Commission has rejected the appeals of six candidates who exercised their right of appeal following the rejection of their nomination over the weekend.

They are Gambia Moral Congress’s Mai Fatty, CA’s Dr Ismaila Ceesay, GAP’s Alieu Sowe, ANRD’s Lamin Bojang, Papa Faal and Alhaji Mamadi Kurang.

IEC spokesman Pa Makan Khan told The Fatu Network their appeals were dismissed for lack of merit.

The Fatu Network understands some of the leaders have threatened to head to the Supreme Court.
