When Citizens’ Alliance and Dr Ismaila Ceesay when their case against the Independent Electoral Commission on Tuesday, it was clear what awaited them regarding Mai Ahmad Fatty and his Gambia Moral Congress party.

Mr Fatty had also sued Election House for the same exact charge: illegal disqualification.

The party’s case came up in court today where the high court held the IEC flouted the law during its rejection of Mr Fatty’s nomination and instructed for him to join the contest again.

Mr Fatty himself wrote after the high court’s verdict: “GMC just won its case against the IEC. The Court granted all Reliefs against IEC. Justice has prevailed. We are appreciative of the enormous support from my Co-Counsel Mr. L. S Camara of Dandimayo Chambers.

“Thank you to our GMC loyal supporters and sympathisers both at home and in the Diaspora, and to all Gambians. Grateful to my colleagues in the Bar who supported one way or the other. Gambian democracy has been further consolidated. The judiciary is the bastion of our sovereignty. God Bless the Republic of The Gambia.”
