Early results are expected on Sunday after Gambians voted in an election seen as a test for its transition to democracy.
One million voters were registered for the election in the small West African country.
Turnout was high as people had to decide whether President Adama Barrow deserves another term.

Very interesting way of counting votes – with marbles!
Glad to have seen it before they ended it.

I hope they don’t lose their marbles, if you catch my drift.
Looks like marble voting sytem would be very easy to rig, especially since the drum is not glass! and how do you reconcile if more marbles are added?/ And if they get mixed by mistake? How do you correct that?
Actually you can’t. Each person is given only one marble and they are unique. After any marble is entered in the drum it makes a sound (a sharp ring) which is hard outside by the polling staff, international and domestic observers as well as party agents on the scene. So each voter to one sound.
I hope that helps you better understand the system.
They vote this way because the high illiteracy rate in the country.
@Tyler Bunker And it’s also heard to RIG. Cuz Representatives from all the different parties are present to approve and counting..
This man is useless
Bring back jameh
jammeh work with adama.
The Generals and Colonels of Gambia National Army mislead Yahya Jammeh during his Presidency for their personal interest
adama is a Killer,Weapon and Drugdealer.He let killing and kidnapping kids from foreigners.He make all expensiv so that people suffering.He must go to jail
These people have lived with years of war and dictatorship. Finally they can vote without fear. What is it you Americans want….democracy gone. Nuts.
Take my for granted, expect me to help.
Stop liking my f*cking post!
Where did this confidence Barrow accumulated come from because 4 years ago he couldn’t even open his mouth properly while his hands were shaking holding a paper
😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
As someone with Gambian ancestry it is always interesting to see the country covered.
Great news today
They should learn French and be annexed by Senegal
You are crazy? You think We Gambians wanna be under French Rule?
We are Independent, got our own money capable. Senegal is Under French Colony.
@Justice Jay What about Senegambia?
Thunder fire you. We do not admire francophone counties that submitted completely to France and most of them are not hundred percent independent. If you guys accept to be enslaved we refuse to be enslave cuz we are kunta kinteh. So your this statement is unfounded i suggest you delete it.
“The Gambia” is a stupid name. No country should have “The” in its name
That’s extremely stupid
But that’s Africa
Idiot. We use “The Gambia” because we’re named after THE Gambia river. You always add a definite article to countries named after geographical features. Also, why don’t you have a problem with “the Netherlands” or “the Phillipines” or “the United Kingdom”? Why only an African country??
U are mad 😠
Stop disrespecting my Country! ……I believe so many things need to change there but calling them stupid just because the country is called the Gambia shows how stupid you are…… We are Africans and our territory or country is call The Gambia🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲 deal with it Mr. Stupid…..Let us start respecting each other for the shake of World Peace and harmony.
May Allah (GOD) guide you
A lot of energy drink companies are into producing “slow poison powder ” too.
