Breaking News: Gambian President Annuls Results Of Election He Earlier Conceded by jiorhemen(m): 12:34pm On Dec 10, 2016
The President of Gambia, Yahya Jammeh has retracted concession - a week after conceding defeat. President Jammeh, who has ruled Gambia with an iron grip since seizing power in a 1994 military coup, suffered a shocking loss on December 2, after running for his fifth term in office. Jammeh had earlier accepted defeat and congratulated Adama Barrow on his victory in an address broadcast by Gambian state television. But he now totally rejects the results and has annuled them.

"I announce to you, Gambians, my total rejection of the election results and thereby annulling the elections in its entirety," he said in a televised speech Friday. "We will go back to the polls because I want to make sure that every Gambian has voted under an independent electoral commission that is independent, neutral and free from foreign influence."

Jammeh had been expected to concede power to his opponent Adama Barrow, with the country's electoral commission announcing last week that the president would do so.
