The Supreme Court of The Gambia will today 24 December 2021 hear the motion filed by President-elect Barrow’s lawyers in a case filed by the United Democratic Party (UDP), which is asking the court to annul the election results, citing series of irregularities.

President-elect Barrow’s legal team in the on-going electoral petition case on Tuesday 21st of December withdrew the motion they earlier filed, which urged the court to dismiss the UDP petition. According to the defence team of the first respondent, they later filed another motion which they say is more detailed than the former.

The Supreme Court therefore granted the application made by lawyer Sheriff Tambadou on behalf of Barrow’s legal team and struck out the first motion filed but awarded a cost of D10, 000 to the petitioner UDP.
