Cord leader Raila Odinga has hailed the economic block of West Africa, ECOWAS, for the role played in the Gambian election dispute.
This is after Ecowas intervened and forced former president Yahya Jammeh to pave way for Adama Barrow who won the December 2016 polls.
Odinga in a statement on Sunday congratulated Ecowas for what he termed as standing by the people of Gambia during the period that had caused tension.
"The firm stand by Ecowas that has made it possible for the people of Gambia to get the leader of their choice is a significant step that resonates with the dreams and aspirations of Africans," said Raila.
He further wished Barrow and people of Gambia success during the transition.
"I wish the President and the people of Gambia success as they embark on the gigantic task of rebuilding their country and reawakening its potential," added Odinga.
