Your Excellency,

Banjul City Council (BCC) Congratulates President-Elect Adama Barrow.

The Banjul City Council (BCC) under the leadership of Lord Mayor Rohey Malick Lowe wishes to, on behalf of the People of Banjul, congratulate you on your victory in the just concluded Presidential elections.

A key element in the exercise of democracy is the holding of free and fair elections so people can freely express their will in a competitive democracy. This election was held on the basis of universal, equal and secret suffrage where all voters had the opportunity to chose their President in conditions of equality, openness and transparency. The people of Banjul in particular, and Gambians in general, have spoken. BCC therefore takes this opportunity to thank all Gambians for coming out in large numbers and peacefully casting their votes.

Furthermore, we pray that Allah will provide you the wisdom to unite the people of this country and fortify your resolve to build a better Gambia that will promote peace, prosperity and welfare for its people especially the women and youths.

We also use this opportunity to thank and commend all the contesting candidates for their sacrifices and for providing an alternative to the Gambian people and wish them the best in all their future endeavors.
