Adama Barrow has been sworn-in as the President of the Gambia.
His swearing in took place at the Gambia’s Embassy in Dakar on Thursday.
Mr. Barrow has been living in Senegal for the past few days following political crisis in the Gambia, because Yahya Jammeh who lost in the country’s election to Barrow on December 1, 2016, has refused to step down despite conceding defeat.
Several efforts by ECOWAS leaders to have Mr. Jammeh step down have been fruitless.
Meanwhile, Mr. Barrow was sworn into office by the head of the Gambian Bar Association.
Several dignitaries from ECOWAS and AU were at the function.
