In Gambia, the longtime President Yahya Jammeh has conceded defeat to opposition leader Adama Barrow, accepting that the people have decided that he should take the back seat. Jammeh, who came to power in 1994 as a 29-year old army officer following a military coup, had won four previous polls. <br/><br/>Speaking to the public on Gambian television last night, Jammeh congratulated Barrow for his clear victory. Barrow's victory in Thursday's presidential election brings to an end Jammeh's 22-year rule.
