Commonwealth
Secretary-General Patricia Scotland has welcomed the election results in The
Gambia.
She
warmly commended the leadership and people of The Gambia for the profoundly
significant and democratic transition they have initiated in the country.
The
Secretary-General said, “On 1 December, Gambians demonstrated Commonwealth
values of peace, tolerance and respect for diversity and differing views, as
they exercised their democratic franchise, and clearly and confidently charted
their own path for the country’s future. We congratulate The Gambia for the
example it has set.”
