UDP sued the president at the Supreme Court over the December 4 presidential election, asking the top court to declare as invalid the poll over alleged bribery and non-citizens voting.

The case began on Friday but was adjourned amid a motion by President Barrow’s lawyers led by Ida Drammeh.

The lawyers are arguing that President Barrow cannot be taken to court both in his official or private capacities.

Lawyers on both sides are now set to fight over motion on Tuesday.
