The Late Gambian VP Joof
The Gambia’s Vice-President Badara Alieu Joof has died in India.
President Adama Barrow announced his vice’s demise on Wednesday, January 18.
“Fellow #Gambians, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing away of my #VicePresident, His Excellency, Badara Alieu Joof. The sad event took place in India after a short illness. May Allah grant him Jannahtul Firdawsi,,” Barrow wrote in a tweet.
The vice-president died after a short illness, although Barrow did not mention whether he was receiving treatment in India.
Joof was not seen in public for months.
President Barrow picked Joof as vice-president after being re-elected in December 2021 for a second term.
In June, Joof expressed dissatisfaction about the conduct of public affairs, saying Gambians had great expectations and “business as usual” would not lead to decisive change.
