President-elect Adama Barrow has for the first time reacted to decision by his father UDP leader Ousainou Darboe to rubbish Saturday’s poll.
Darboe was embarrassed by President Barrow in Saturday’s election after vowing to end the Gambian leader’s rule.
On Sunday, Mr Darboe told reporters he is rejecting the results even as he did not present any evidence the election was stolen.
But speaking to reporters at State House on Tuesday, President Barrow said: “These elections were conducted by the Independent Electoral Commission. They are the institution responsible for conducting elections. It’s not me to say ‘accept or don’t accept’ the elections.
“You can have your opinion to make but I think we all depend on the chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission as the institution that is responsible for organizing elections.”
