The Kanifing Municipal Council has emulated Banjul City Council by also issuing a statement congratulating President-elect Adama Barrow.
A statement shared on the council’s official Facebook page Wednesday said: “Please accept the Kanifing Municipal Council’s warm congratulations on your victory in the just concluded Presidential elections.
“The Council under the leadership of the Lord Mayor convey our best wishes for your success as you prepare to take up the responsibilities and challenges of the Presidency.
“Please accept the assurances of our highest consideration and fraternal esteem.”
Mayor Talib Bensouda’s role in the statement is not clear as he is UDP’s organizing secretary and his party has been denying President Barrow’s victory.
