Gambia President Yahya Jammeh has said he would approach the Supreme Court over the victory of opposition, Adama Barrow at the Presidential polls.

Jammeh had rejected the results on Friday while addressing the nation, a week after conceding defeat.

Jammeh’s declaration was “a prelude to a petition that the (ruling) APRC Party is in the process of filing before the Supreme Court of the Gambia against a fraud decision of the IEC (Independent Electoral Commission),” his party said in a  statement released late Saturday.

Jammeh said he had previously accepted the electoral results “believing that the Independent Electoral Commission was independent and honest and reliable”, but would now “reject the results in totality.”
