Thanks Allah and all those who prayed and continue to pray for the peace and
stability of The Gambia. I join the rest of the Gambia-l members by taking this
opportunity to congratulate President Jammeh and his party for being the choice
of the majority of the Gambian electorate. I commend Lawyer Darboe and his
party for congratulating  Jammeh on his victory.

I also commend P.D.O.I.S for being principled and wish them all the best and
hope that we see many of your candidates in the next National Assembly.


Best regards,
Momodou Camara
