As a result, the representatives of the aforementioned candidates at the IEC headquarters refused to endorse some of the results that were announced through the public media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Darboe said such issues will be probed. \u201cWe are investigating this matter with our partners to determine our future course of action. At this point in time, we reject the results announced thus far by the IEC. We reserve the right to embark on any course of action the situation requires. To this end, all actions are on the table. In the meantime, we urge all Gambians to remain calm and peaceful while we continue our investigation of these concerns,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of reading the statement, hundreds of supporters of Mr Darboe had gathered outside his residence chanting \u201cayeh ji, ayeh ji!\u201d translating as \u201cstep down, step down!\u201d Riot police were noticed in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
