United Democratic Party leader
The United Democratic Party leader has urged his supporters to avoid discussing the merits of the petition the party filed at the Supreme Court today until the court judges it.
The UDP leader urged his supporters in a statement released shortly after filing the case at the apex court.
“The general public is hereby informed that today 14th December 2021 the United Democratic Party at 14: 59 has officially filed a petition before the Supreme Court of the Gambia challenging the validity of the election of Adama Barrow as President of the republic of the Gambia.
“Therefore, I urge all members and supporters of the UDP to stay calm and continue to be peaceful and law abiding at all times. And to go about their normal activities in peace and tranquillity.
“In the meantime, I reiterate that the National Executive Committee of the UDP will continue to exert maximum efforts through all the available legal remedies and will not rest until all legal recourse is exhausted.
“Please be reminded that the UDP is committed to use exclusively pacific means to settle all disputes regarding the December 4th Presidential elections and shall abide by the judgement of the Court. This is the only option in tune with values and principles of the UDP.
“Finally, as the matter is now before the apex Court of our nation, I urge all members and supporters of the UDP to refrain from discussing the merits of the case or to engage in any sort of trial by media until the Court passes its judgement,” the statement by Ousainu ANM Darboe reads.
Meanwhile, the United Democratic Party has today filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the validity of the December 4 presidential election, in which Barrow was declared winner on 5th December.
