Gambian President, Adama Barrow's Inauguration Is Today by Chuzzyblog3: 8:36am On Feb 18, 2017
Today February 18, 2017, Gambian president, Adama Barrow will be officially sworn in at the Independence Stadium in the capital, Banjul. The inauguration will be tied with the Gambia’s 52nd Independence Day celebration.

Reports also indicate that Presidents from about 20 African countries are expected to grace the event. While US Department of State, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield will also be at the event.

However, Adama Barrow took his first oath of office in Dakar, at the Gambian embassy in Senegal. He was sworn-in by the head of The Gambian bar association. This second oath will be administered by the new Chief Justice, Justice Hassan Jallow.

His inability to take oath in Bajul after winning December 2016 polls was due to the refusal of former leader, Yahya Jammeh, to accept his poll loss.

Not many people know Barack Obama took his first oath of office twice. This was necessary to cover all legal loopholes arising from a flaw or difference in the first taking of the oath.

Thought he has been official known as President of The Gambia.

Why referring to him as President-elect..


President Obama of the United States actually took the Oath of Office 4 times!!

In other words, the new President will be sworn in twice. Is this constitutional? The drafters of the Gambian Constitution probably did not envisage this situation.
Re: Gambian President, Adama Barrow's Inauguration Is Today by Nobody: 9:27am On Feb 18, 2017
So this proves the first inauguration was fake or unconstitutional. Otherwise why repeat it?

The fake one served the purpose of the white imperialist powers being able to claim they were invited by newly inaugurated President Barrow to forcefully remove the incumbent Jammeh.

Of course the imperialist powers are hiding behind their stooges in ECOWAS that contributed troops for the threatened invasion.
