Gambia Election: President Jammeh 'To Concede Defeat' After 22 Years of Rule

It is like Nigerian immediate past Presisde , Goodluck Jonathan has set a continental permeating record in governance, by conceding defeat unlike any past incumbent leader would have done. It has never been heard prior to such shocking but commendable act of true and sacrificial governance.
What has happened in Gambia?
The head of The Gambia's electoral commission says President Yahya Jammeh is to concede defeat in Thursday's election after 22 years of rule .
He said it was unprecedented for a Gambian head of state to accept defeat before the announcement of the final results.
There has been no word so far from Mr Jammeh who had been trailing the opposition leader Adama Barrow in partial results. Mr Jammeh took power in a coup in 1994.
