President Adama Barrow has joined world leaders in congratulating Joe Biden following his victory in the US presidential election.
Biden denied President Donald Trump a second term in office after most of America electoral college votes went his way. Trump is however insisting the election was stolen in Mr Biden favour.
President Barrow knows all too well how a disputed election smells like; former President Yahya Jammeh dismissed his 2016 triumph as fraudulent which sparked a month-long impasse.
However on Sunday, President Barrow said he looks forward to working with ‘President-elect Biden for the mutual benefit of their two countries, and a stronger multilateral system’.
State House said in a statement published alongside a photo of Biden and Kamala Harris: “His Excellency, President Adama Barrow on behalf of the Government and people of The Gambia congratulates President-elect Joe Biden for his victory in the elections of November 3rd 2020, and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, for becoming the first female to occupy such an office.
“President Barrow looks forward to working with President-elect Biden for the mutual benefit of their two countries, and a stronger multilateral system.”
