Mr Bah filed in his nomination papers with the IEC on Tuesday expressing his interest in the presidency.

But in a dramatic twist on Friday, Bah who vowed to build a wall between The Gambia and Senegal has now walked back his bid.

He met President Barrow at State House on Friday where he told him he would be backing him in next month’s presidential election.
