Yahya defeated in gambia election

It seems like you're referring to the recent presidential election in The Gambia. Yahya Jammeh, the incumbent president, lost the election to Adama Barrow, the candidate of the coalition of opposition parties.

On December 1, 2016, Gambia held its first democratic presidential election since 2006. The election was seen as a significant step towards democracy in the country, which had been ruled by Jammeh since 1994.

According to the results announced by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), Adama Barrow won the election with 43.3% of the votes, while Yahya Jammeh received 39.6%. The IEC declared Barrow the winner, but Jammeh initially refused to accept the results, citing irregularities.

However, after international pressure and mediation by regional leaders, Jammeh eventually accepted the results and stepped down on January 20, 2017, allowing Adama Barrow to take office. This marked the end of Jammeh's 22-year rule and the beginning of a new era in Gambian politics.

It's worth noting that the election was seen as a significant milestone in Gambian history, as it marked the country's transition from authoritarian rule to democracy. The election was also seen as a victory for the people of The Gambia, who had been seeking greater political freedom and accountability for years.
