On Thursday, Gambians will vote for members of their one-chamber parliament. They are the first polls since Yahya Jammeh left power after more than 22 years as president.
Mr Jammeh sparked a political and constitutional crisis by refusing to leave office following his defeat in the December 2016 presidential election.
He finally headed for exile on 21 January after neighbouring countries threatened to remove him by force.
His successor Adama Barrow, who is a political novice, has pledged to carry out political, security and media reforms.
As part of his proposed reforms, he is setting up a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate abuses committed under Mr Jammeh’s rule.
