Firebrand APRC executive member, Ousman Rambo Jatta, has renewed his attack on electoral commission chairman over the 2016 presidential election that ended the Jammeh regime’s 22-year dictatorship. 

Mr Jatta who was speaking at the APRC party congress on Saturday, claimed the IEC rigged the 2016 election in favour of Adama Barrow, the then head of an opposition coalition. 

He said: “We have already seen paragons from the Independent Electoral Commission in the presidential election of 2016 where there was illegal interference with the election process by increasing the vote share of a favoured candidate.

“It was such successful electoral fraud and deliberate manipulation that have the effect of a fourth civilian coup d’état in The Gambia.”

Mr Jatta said the APRC will not allow another so-called election fraud in the December 4 presidential election.

“We will never tolerate that kind of ridiculous bloopers from the Independent Electoral Commission under the tutelage of Chairman Alieu Momar Njai, devious with ECOWAS, AU, UN, EU, Senegal and opposition parties who have robbed APRC of its victory,” he said.
