Gambian President Adama Barrow pledged to push through a new constitution that would restrict the number of mandates the West African nation’s leader can serve.
“I want the new constitution to be a part of my legacy,” Barrow told journalists in the capital, Banjul, Tuesday. “We will have a new constitution, and we will have a term limit, and an absolute majority,” he said.
