Gambia's president of 22 years has finally lost an election and he will step down peacefully. Said president has been accused of rigging elections and being a fanatic in general. Earlier this year, the Ivory Coast held its first peaceful election in 22 years and a new president stepped into power (even though he was the former dictator of Nigeria). Unfortunately, not all countries have made progress. For example, Joseph Kabilla, president of the DRC, has decided to conduct a census to delay the election.

It would be wise for Gambia to establish term limits and make it difficult to amend the constitution.
