Answer
On January 21, 2017, Yahya Jammeh, the former President of The Gambia, left the country after losing the presidential election to Adama Barrow. Jammeh had initially refused to concede defeat, but after international pressure and the threat of military intervention, he agreed to step down and go into exile. His departure marked the end of his 22-year rule and the beginning of a new era in Gambian politics.
