Barrow’s aides say he’ll would arrive in Banjul today from neighbouring Senegal, where he was sworn in at an impromptu ceremony at the Gambian embassy a week ago.

Gambia’s new president Adama Barrow, a property developer who lacks political experience, has to allay fears that his administration has got off to a shaky start amid concerns that his delayed return was causing a power vacuum.

There has been criticism over his vice-presidential nominee, and he has yet to appoint a cabinet.

Barrow’s nomination of Fatoumata Jallow-Tambajang as his deputy prompted criticism.

She  is allegedly two years over the constitutional age limit of 65.
