Former leader Yahya Jammeh announced that the country had become
an Islamic State in 2015, changing it’s name officially to the Islamic Republic of Gambia.
The Gambia is a Muslim majority nation, with over 90% of residents following the faith, but naming it an Islamic country makes it a theocracy rather than a secular democracy.
Barrow, in his first press conference as President, announced that the name would be reverted back to the ‘Republic of Gambia’.
