The Independent Electoral Commission has recognized Kebba Jallow as the leader of People’s Progressive Party.
PPP members have been at war among themselves since a disputed congress in February this year.
Touma Njai who stepped forward to contest against Kebba Jallow refused to take part in the election after she charged that the process was marred by fraud.
Later on, she complained to the IEC who later wrote to her that they could not interfere in internal party matters.
Yet, the IEC wrote to the clerk of the National Assembly on May 19 telling him it has recognized Kebba Jallow as the ‘official’ leader of PPP.
And Touma Njai sharing a copy of the letter said: “Did I not tell you there’s was more to it than meets the eye. This was sent by the IEC after they said it was an internal matter.
“They decided to take a decision ignoring the letters written by the regional chairpersons followed by a visit by all of them to the IEC office. How can we trust the IEC to Preside over an elections under these circumstances. See you in court.”
