Ghana’s outgoing President, John Mahama will tomorrow [Tuesday], join other ECOWAS leaders in the Gambian capital of Banjul, to hold talks with the country’s outgoing leader, Yahya Jammeh, after he rejected results of that country\u2019s election held earlier in December.<\/p>\n
Hours after President Mahama conceded defeat in Ghana\u2019s election on December 9, news broke that President Jammeh, who has ruled Gambia for 22 years, had annulled his country\u2019s elections and called for a re-run after earlier conceding defeat in the presidential polls.<\/p>\n
President Mahama will be heading to Gambia on request of ECOWAS, to join the Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, and two others to attempt a resolution of the political situation in Gambia.<\/p>\n
