Voters in The Gambia are heading to the polls on Saturday to elect their next president, five years after long-time ruler Yahya Jammeh stepped down.
Incumbent President Adama Barrow and five other candidates are vying for the presidential seat.
Barrow’s main task is to improve the country’s economy.
The electoral commission says it has made all the preparations for a free and fair election.

Good luck Gambian people. Vote and vote wisely. Remember no one can improve your lot but you yourself. Don’t let candidates who represent foreign interest ruin the future of your children. Remember free education used to be the norm, college was free with stipend… but now all that has changed…
It doesnt matter who u voe for mr American adama barrow will win anyways.
Hes planted there by senegal that is taking orders from Washington !
A puppet
@Always Question Things you do not know
This man should go. One can hardly understand when he speaks for God sake
take all four jabs.
every small country should be annexed for its own sake by a larger neighbor, with the exception of successful small countries
Are you just stupid or are you simply ignorant?
I agree with you. Take Lesotho for instance. A very poor country, that has never had political stability. Should just become South Africa’s 10th province. I don’t understand why South Africa has not invaded it.
To be honest Gambia is already controlled by senegal thats controlled by france and usa !
The gambian president is not even a native gambian but senegalese and was planted there after they destabilised gambia and removed the true leader mr jammeh
@Always Question Things liar
@Always Question Things not to mention there’s a lot of Senegalese people living in Gambia.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
🙏🏿✊🏿🇬🇲
Good luck Gambia 🇬🇲🇬🇲
At least Before The Islamic Republic of Gambia was runned and controlled by a Gambian !
Now its runned by a totally foreign unknown american puppet imported from senegal named barrow.
Long Live Yahya Jammeh ✌
