Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh said on December 9, 2016 he would not recognise the results of December 1 elections and called for fresh polls, a week after he conceded defeat. “In the same way that I accepted the results faithfully believing that the Independent Electoral Commission was independent and honest and reliable, I hereby reject the results in totality,” he said in a statement broadcast on state television. br ISSOUF SANOGO / AFP
