The PPP leader said what is expected of them as elders is to give advice and direction that is needed.
Honourable Samba Jallow, Minority Leader of the National Assembly also expressed his delight as the oppositions have answered to the call of Gambians. “Adama Barrow [Standard bearer] will resign from his party to lead the coalition,” he said.
