Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Barrow says he ‘will not rule up to 20 years’ President Adama Barrow has said he will not rule The Gambia for up to twenty years. Speaking in an exclusive with The Standard, President Barrow said: \u201cI can tell you one thing, I will not stay in power longer than Jammeh did. In fact, I will not stay up to 20 years. I can assure every Gambian that I will not be in power for 20 years. No, I don\u2019t want to be in power for 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Barrow was responding to a question by The Standard how long he intended to rule The Gambia. A non-committal President Barrow stated: \u201cDefinitely, I cannot give a definite answer to that. Today, right now, my focus is these five years coming. And my immediate focus is my swearing-in and from there I will immediately start work for the next national development plan. That is my focus. But whether I will contest in 2026, I cannot give a definite answer as at now.\u201d<\/p>\n
