Voters in The Gambia Re-Elect President Adama Barrow
----------------------------------------------------

Voters in The Gambia have re-elected Adama Barrow as president of the
small West African nation. It was The Gambia's first election since
former president Yahya Jammeh fled into exile in 2017, 22 years after he
seized power in a bloodless coup. Jammeh had refused to accept Barrow's
previous win and was forced from power by a military alliance of other
West African states.
