answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2016 answer text <p>The UK welcomes the successful conduct of the elections in The Gambia on 1 December, and congratulates the Gambian people on the orderly and legitimate expression of their desire for change. As the Minister responsible for Africa, I spoke directly to the President-elect, Mr Adama Barrow, last week, to congratulate him on his victory and to offer the UK's support. But we are deeply concerned by President Jammeh's recent rejection of the elections' clear and legitimate result and strongly condemn any attempt to disrupt the peaceful, constitutional transfer of power. We welcome the clear, unified statement of the UN Security Council on 10 December calling for the results to be respected, as well as the efforts of the Economic Community Of West African States to impress on President Jammeh the need to respect the will of the people and ensure a peaceful handover of power to President-elect Barrow.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/12/2016 14:57:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
