ELECTIONS IN BANJUL
By Madiba Singhateh
In the Parliamentary Elections in Banjul, polling started at 7:00 am in almost all the 3 constituencies and closed by 4:00pm. I spoke to presiding officers at their various polling stations. The presiding officer for A3 polling station at Gambia High School, Abdoulie Sanyang, said that polls were opened by 7: 00am and should close by 4:00pm. At polling station A5B situated at Campama Primary School in Banjul North constituency, polling closed by 4:00pm. Just before the close of the polls, this reporter spoke to one of the presiding officers, Yankuba Kanteh. Mr. Kanteh told this reporter that the turn out was very low and that they were to close by 4:00pm.
In Banjul North Constituency counting started at 6:00 pm at The Gambia High School Hall and it ended by 7:30pm. In Banjul South counting was held at the St. Joseph’s Primary School, while in Banjul Central, counting was held at the BCC grounds. In all the constituencies of Banjul, polling went on smoothly.
