Mai Ahmad Fatty has said it’s only ‘Allah’ that knows who the next president of the country will be, warning that no one can claim to be the ‘anointed’ winner of next year’s election.
The GMC leader speaking to Gambians via his official Facebook page on Thursday said: “Sovereignty is bestowed by Allah to whosoever He pleases. (Quran, Surah 3, Verse 26). Only Allah knows who the next President will be. 2021 may prove shocking to many because the unexpected may happen.
“No one today, can claim to be the anointed winner in 2021. Anything can happen from now onwards and the race remains wide open. Mutual respect is essential. If you respect your Party Leader, accord similar respect to others’ Leaders as well. If you disrespect other people’s leaders, they too may in turn disrespect your Leader.
“This is why mutual respect is key for all of us in the political process. While we may disagree, we should respect each other’s views. That is the cardinal principle of democracy. May Peace prevail in The Gambia.”
