Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) leader Mamma Kandeh has said President Adama Barrow came to power through the ‘window’, saying “If there is one person who came through the window it’s President Barrow because he campaign to serve for three years when the constitution says five years ,”
Addressing GDC supporters at political party rally in Kulari, URR Kandeh frowned at President Barrow for not keeping his promise.
President Barrow came to power in 2016 with the backing of seven political parties – after initially agreeing to preside over a transition government of three years. Mr Barrow has now astonishingly changed his mind because according to him, that’s not what the constitution
“The constitution says five years but they went and campaign for three years and came he to power through the window. He now always says anyone who wants to be president should come through the door when he (Mr Barrow) came through the window.
“Now, whenever you’re reminded of that vow, you get angry. A president saying something and then toppling it with another statement? You now get angry when someone reminds you and it’s you who said it?”
