Gambia Moral Congress today won its legal case against the Independent Electoral Commission at the High Court in Banjul less than 24 hours the same court ruled in favour of Citizens’ Alliance against the commission.

Mai Ahmed Fatty, who heads GMC, was among a group of presidential aspirants whose nomination submissions were rejected by the IEC.

But the party took its case to the High Court to challenge the decision of the country’s election body.

Mai Fatty, who is a lawyer by profession was among GMC’s legal team who fought against his rejection.

He wrote after the court’s ruling today:”GMC just won its case against the IEC. The Court granted all Reliefs against IEC. Justice has prevailed. We are appreciative of the enormous support from my co-counsel Mr. L. S Camara of Dandimayo Chambers.”

“Thank you to our GMC loyal supporters and sympathisers both at home and in the Diaspora, and to all Gambians. Grateful to my colleagues in the Bar who supported one way or the other. Gambian democracy has been further consolidated. 

“The judiciary is the bastion of our sovereignty. God Bless the Republic of The Gambia,” he added.
