Haddy Jallow, through her lawyer, Lamin K. Mboge has on the 19 April written to the Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) informing him that Touma Njie’s dual nationality was not known to her at the time of her nominations even though rumours were rife that she holds citizenship of England, making her a British national at the time of her nomination.
