Gambia's President, Yahya Jammeh, who has been in power for 22 years is finally, as Adama Barrow defeated him on Thursday.


The head of The Gambia's electoral commission has also announced that President Jammeh is to concede defeat in Thursday's election. 

He said it was unprecedented for a Gambian head of state to accept defeat before the announcement of the final results. 

There has been no word so far from Mr Jammeh who had been trailing the opposition leader Adama Barrow in partial results. Mr Jammeh took power in a coup in 1994.
