Gambia's Chief Justice Abdou Karim Savage has rescheduled the eagerly anticipated ruling between UDP/NRP and the Attorney-General and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to Wednesday, January 16.

According to our competent Supreme Court sources, Justice Savage this morning called all the parties involved into his Chambers, where he apologized for not having finished writing his ruling as he had earlier expected. He said the workload was more than what he had thought.

"I was surprised to read in one of the 'radio kankan' online papers that Justice Savage has dismissed the case", our source said. "This is contempt of court even in the US. How can a journalist lie in this manner to the public?" he asked.

"However, it's not unlikely that Savage might rule in favor of the state given his close ties with Jammeh's administration, but it's far from truth that he has made a ruling on the matter", he concluded.
