Security Analyst,\u00a0Dr. Kwesi Anning believes President John Mahama’s concession of defeat in the country’s election puts him in a strong position to ensure the\u00a0desired resolution to the current political crisis in The Gambia.<\/p>\n

President Mahama, together with some other ECOWAS Heads of state, will be\u00a0in the Gambian capital of Banjul today [Tuesday] to help find a solution to the political deadlock in the country.<\/p>\n

President Mahama with President Jammeh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gambia’s President, Yahya Jammeh was defeated in the country’s general election by opposition leader Adama Barrow on December 2.<\/p>\n

But he came out on December 9 to annul the election results and demand a re-run, thereby going back on his earlier concession.<\/p>\n

President Jammeh’s rejection of the election results came a few hours after President Mahama had conceded defeat in the 2016 general election to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a>
Dr. Kwesi Anning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a Citi News<\/strong> interview, Dr. Anning indicated that President Mahama’s ability to hold himself up as an example of gracious\u00a0defeat and evidence of a fulfilling life after a presidency could be\u00a0key to resolving the deadlock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a complexity of issues involved here, but the trump card for ECOWAS right now is President John Mahama instead of sending an expeditionary force,\u201d he\u00a0stated.<\/p>\n

We should have seen this coming<\/strong><\/p>\n

The security analyst also suggested that various analyst in the sub-region should have seen this situation coming.<\/p>\n

“Yahyeh Jammeh hardly ever tells the truth or remains consistent and I think it is the failure of the of our analysts and intelligence services that thought Jammeh would not change his mind.”<\/p>\n
