Abdoulie Bah is new Mayor of Banjul, The Gambia's capital (Photo Credit: The Point) |
The Gambia’s rulling party, APRC saw
its mayoral candidate Samba Faal sent packing by independent candidate Abdoulie
Bah in Thursday’s local
government election.
Mr Bah defeated the incumbent
Mr Faal 4980 to 3811 in the April 4 national election.
At the KMC, incumbent mayor Yakuba Colley
defeated independent candidate Sheikh Omar Saho 25,773 to 10,982 to ensure the
ruling party holds on to country’s most densely populated municipality.
The Banjul seat was contested by Samba Faal,
Abdoulie Bah, Addoulie Jah and Basiru Ndow. The Independent Electoral
Commission (IEC) declared Bah the winner with 4980 votes, Samba Faal 3811
votes, Basiru Ndow 552 votes and Addoulie Jah 390.
Elections observers
confirmed that this is the ruling APCR’s second defeat to an independent
candidate for the mayoral position in the commercial capital, Banjul. In 2003, the ruling party was
defeated by independent candidate Pa Sallah Jeng, though his tenure was short-lived.
