MP Alhagie Sowe of Jimara on his part wrote: “Congratulations my brother, President-elect Barrow for your victory and other Candidates. The Gambian people have spoken, and I respect their verdict.
“We may have different political affiliations, but at the end of the day we are one people aiming to better the life of the citizens of this country.”
