Adama Barrow has been sworn in as Gambian President in neighbouring Senegal as incumbent Yahya Jammeh forced to leave the seat.
The man who won The Gambia’s disputed election, took the oath at the Gambian embassy in Senegal.
Adama Barrow, born 16 February 1965, is a member of the United Democratic Party (UDP).
Prior to his presidential campaign, he was the treasurer of the UDP and operated a real estate agency.
He established the agency, Majum Real Estate, in 2006 after returning from studies in London, England.
He has been exiled in Senegal having had his victory at the presidential election of 2016 rejected by the former president, Yahya Jammeh.
Jammeh, who has in power since a 1994 coup, initially conceded to Barrow before he then back-tracked, saying the vote was flawed and there had to be a re-run.
Overnight talks with African leaders to convince him to stand down failed.
