The leadership battle at the Supreme Islamic Council has edged closer to a close as it has emerged imams of the government-recognised body plan to hold a congress soon.
Sources have told The Fatu Network a commitee has been set up tasked with organising a congress that could churn out a new leadership.
Gambians imams have been at loggerheads over the leadership of the country’s top Islamic body.
The Imam Momodou Lamin Touray-led administration has been accused of leading the council illegally.
As a result, Imams under the banner of Rawdatul Majalis set up a parallel Supreme Islamic Council and announced their own president.
The Fatu Network now understands a congress is in the pipeline which could see the election into office of a new leadership at the government-recognised Supreme Islamic Council. The congress could be held within a month.
