According to Reuters, incumbent Gambia President Adam Barrow won the presidential election, which took place in the country on December 4.
As mentioned, 53% of voters voted for it. His main election candidate was former country vice president and current opposition bloc leader Usein Darbaud. The main political rival managed to get only 28% of the vote.
Barrow lived in London at the beginning of the 21st century, where he worked as a security guard in a shopping center. After returning to his homeland, he became an entrepreneur. In 2016, he was nominated for the first time as the presidential candidate of a coalition of seven opposition parties. Until then, Adam Barrow had held no political office.
