President Adama Barrow was sworn in for his second term as head of The Gambia on Wednesday in a nearly three-hour ceremony held at the Bakau Independence Stadium (Banjul).
Barrow won the Gambian presidential election on December 4, 2021 with 53% of the vote once morest 27% for his challenger Ousainu Darboe.
“I swear to faithfully fulfill the duties of President of the Republic of The Gambia, to respect and enforce the laws of the country,” Barrow pledged, copy of the Koran in hand, before the members of the Supreme Court. .
Presidents Muhamadu Buhari of Nigeria, Macky Sall of Senegal, Faure Gnassingbé of Togo, Umar Sissoco Embalo of Guinea Bissau, Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone and Mohamed Ould Ghazouani of Mauritania took part in the ceremony.
“I call on all Gambians, regardless of their differences, to come together as one people to work for the development of our country,” Barrow insisted in a statement made just following the swearing-in. He said that the 90% participation rate recorded during the presidential election is a new victory for the Gambian people who have long been tested. Barrow thus promised for the next five years to pursue its policy centered on infrastructures, energy and technologies.
Faller, to everyone’s surprise, of Yaya Jammeh in the presidential election of December 2016, Barrow had been forced to take an oath at his country’s embassy in Dakar following the refusal of the dictator in office since 1994 to recognize his defeat. Cornered by the Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the dictator Jammeh, who came to power by force of arms, ceded power before going into exile in Equatorial Guinea where he currently lives.
For the 2021 presidential election, Yaya Jammeh actively supported candidate Mamah Kandeh who came 3rd with 12.32% of the vote. The Gambian presidential election is played in a single round and the limitation of the number of presidential mandates is not, until then, in force in this small country of 11,300 km2 for 2.4 million inhabitants.

Family spirit: Senegalese writer Ken Bugul and her Sene-Gambian grandson Modou N’diaye
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Remember this cookie box that we opened 1 year ago while listening, hidden behind the station, several conversations between grandmothers and granddaughters …. With always this question: how is the transmission between Baobab generation and generation 2.0?
Today, Family spirit (this is the name we give to this series that you will find as you go through our knitting), push the furniture and make room, all the room for a tandem as beautiful as an improvised visit. On the one hand, Modou N’diaye, 24 years old, grandson very global village (he was born in Senegal, grew up in Gambia and crisscrossed the world) On the other, a novelist grandmother, we have sketched In G Major recently, the 1999 Black African Literary Grand Prize for his trilogy The Crazy Baobab, Ashes and embers and Riwan or the sand path, I named: Ken Bugul. Terrible nickname which in Wolof means nobody wants it. See that … Building your life on this nickname (which excludes) already says a lot regarding this very grown up person, enamored of freedom, non-conformism and transmission …
