Kebba Madi Bojang threatens to organise demonstrations if his lawyers establish that Gambia’s electoral commission deliberately rejected his presidential candidacy. The National Democratic Party leader announced this position after his application was rejected, according to Kerr Fatou.
Kebba Madi Bojang, leader of Gambia’s National Democratic Party (NDP), has threatened to organise demonstrations against Gambia’s Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) following the rejection of his presidential candidacy. However, he has made the mobilisation conditional on his lawyers' findings on whether his candidacy was deliberately rejected, Kerr Fatou reports.
Bojang spoke to journalists at the IEC headquarters on Thursday, a few hours after the electoral commission’s decision, according to Kerr Fatou.
