Addressing the press at State House on December 7, Barrow attributed his election victory to his achievements among them improving the energy sector in the country.

Barrow said when he was coming to power in 2017, a World Bank report stated that electricity would  come on and off 17 to 19 times a day. He bragged that his government was able to bring down electricity cuts to 2 to 3 times a day.

He added that, that was why the Gambians came out in large numbers to vote for him . FactCheck Gambia verified such information to be false but, our reporter Alieu Ceesay who has keen interest in the energy sector prepared this report.
