The United Democratic Party has said that it lost the petition case not ‘based on merit, but a mere technicality’.
The Supreme Court of the Gambia on Tuesday morning struck out the UDP petition case for non- compliance with rule 11 of the Elections Petition Act.
“United Democratic Party has never left anything wrong in this country to go unchallenged. We have directed the jurisprudence of this country; we’ve directed how the constitution of this country should work. We have not lost anything because the petition was not dismissed based on merit but a mere technicality. We should be Proud of ourselves for what we have done and will continue to do for Country,” the United Democratic Party Leader Ousainu Darboe said in a statement.
The UDP has filed the election petition at the Supreme Court against President-elect Adama of the National People’s Party (NPP), as 1st respondent and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) as 2nd respondent, seeking the court to nullify the December 4 presidential election results; alleging irregularities in the election campaign.
