Hamat Bah, also stated that the upcoming election will determine who would rule this country for the next five years and people should be mindful of their choice of leader. 

“Since President Barrow became the president, he committed himself in the services that leads to the development of this country. You all have to vote President Barrow because he is a good leader. He will never lie to you and he is a true Muslim. He is the only one that gave you rice, oil, and water.”
