‘That’s what I have done’: Darboe tells his supporters at Independence Stadium he’s carried out their request to show President Barrow a red card

UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has told his supporters he has carried out their order to show President Adama Barrow a red card.

Mr Darboe appeared at the Independence Stadium brandishing a red card in the air. In sport, a red card means dismissal.

He told his supporters: “What Gambians showed today is that they do not want the current government. It’s you the Gambians who gave me a red card and said I should show it to Adama Barrow and that’s what I have done today.”

Mr Darboe presented his nomination credentials to the IEC on Monday accompanied by thousands of supporters.

He declared that change is coming shortly after filing his nomination even as he also thanked his supporters for the massive show of support.
