President Adama Barrow of Gambia
Adama Barrow was today, sworn in as the President of Gambia outside his country in Senegal. He defeated the former President, Yahya Jammeh at the Presidential election in December.
Although Jammeh congratulated Barrow before making the shocking
decision to change his stance, Barrow has remained resolute to claim the
mandate given to him by the people of Gambia.
Adama Barrow, a successful property developer who has never held
public office once reportedly worked as a security guard in the UK,
according to the BBC.

independence from British colonial rule, in a small village near the

as a security guard at the Argos catalogue store in north London, while

he established Majum Real Estate and has since been Chief Executive
