President Adama Barrow Rescinds The Appointment of Mr. Oremi Joiner As IEC Deputy Chairperson 

In the wake of emerging evidence that contradicts the appointment of Mr. Oremi Joiner as IEC Deputy Chairperson, His Excellency President Adama Barrow, regrets to rescind MrJoiner’s appointment effective immediately. 

This decision is consistent with President Barrow’s commitment to democratic pluralism, transparency and total accountability both in the administration of justice in The Gambia as well as our electoral process.

Significantly, it is instructive to clarify that the President’s decision does not in any way, shape or form question MrJoiner’s sterling qualities as a man who has exemplified himself as a true citizen and patriot for which reasons he was appointed to this position.
