Gambia News : Gambian leader unseats National Assembly speaker
Acting under the powers vested in him by the Constitution of the Republic of The Gambia, President Yahya Jammeh on Thursday revoked the nomination of Elizabeth Yamide Renner as member and Speaker of the National Assembly, a press release from the Office of The President, signed by Dr. Njogou L. Bah, secretary general and head of the Civil Service, revealed.
The press release did not give reasons for the revocation but said 'this clearly indicates that Renner has lost her seat in parliament.'
Renner was the third female speaker in the second republic after succeeding Mrs. Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay in 2008.
She served in the first republic and part of the second republic as teacher, retiring as principal of St. Augustan's high school in Banjul.
