Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>In what is considered one of his most unifying speeches, President Adama Barrow on Monday evening called on Gambians to quit divisive politics and hate speech to join hands in moving the country forward.<\/p>\n

In an address made in the aftermath of the National Assembly elections, the president congratulated Gambians and all stakeholders including the IEC and security services on the successful and peaceful conclusion of the National Assembly elections held last Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now time to put behind us the divisive politics and hate speeches that seem to divide the nation. This is the time to re-energise ourselves for nation building so that every citizen becomes a winner. As mature and cultured people, we must realise that, once elections end, we are duty-bound to unite and serve the country as one people,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

The Gambian leader said regardless of the results of the elections, the affairs of the entire country and the welfare of every citizen and resident will remain central in his concerns and focus. \u201cHand in hand, let us all move on,\u201d he said. He said the outcome of the elections clearly demonstrates that the country\u2019s democracy is thriving.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was another test of the credibility and viability of our institutions and the mechanisms and processes we are strongly determined to safeguard and strengthen. To our credit, as Gambians, we have got over the event with remarkable success,\u201d Barrow said. He said the aspirations of the country \u201ccan be achieved much faster if we work as a united force\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn doing so, we need to be service-oriented and committed to the betterment of the people, strive to advance and strengthen our democracy, and observe the principles of peace and justice for all. These are essential elements for good governance and progress, which we cannot ignore,\u201d Barrow said.<\/p>\n
