When he was sworn in earlier this year, president Adama Barrow said the Gambian election, which saw his predecessor Yahya Jammeh ousted after 22 years in power, was "a victory for democracy".

He told Gambians they had the power to control their own destiny. He also promised to free political prisoners and improve press freedom.
