The Gambia’s president-elect Adama Barrow’s inauguration will be held at The Gambia embassy in Senegal at 4pm today, Thursday 19 January.
In a tweet on Social media, President-elect Adama Barrow, extended an open invitation to his fellow Gambians and supports around the world to witness the swearing-in ceremony.
Yahya Jammeh, The Gambia's authoritarian president of 22 years, has suffered a surprise defeat in the country's presidential elections.
He will be replaced by property developer Adama Barrow, who won more than 45% of the vote. After his win, Mr Barrow hailed a "new Gambia".
Mr Jammeh, who came to power in a coup in 1994, has not yet spoken publicly.
The West African state has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965.
Electoral commission chief Alieu Momar Njie appealed for calm as the country entered uncharted waters.
"I am very, very, very happy. I'm excited that we won this election and from now hope starts," Mr Barrow told the BBC's Umaru Fofana, adding that he was disappointed not to have won by a larger margin.
Mr Barrow won 263,515 votes (45.5%) in Thursday's election, while President Jammeh took 212,099 (36.7%), according to the electoral commission. A third party candidate, Mama Kandeh, won 102,969 (17.8%).
