The President-elect had left Gambia with ECOWAS after a second meeting with President Yahya Jammeh yielded no results.

Jammeh has refused to handover power after losing the December 1 Presidential election to Barrow.

ECOWAS troops are already stationed at the the Gambian border to oust Jammeh whose tenure expired at midnight.

The President elect had earlier tweeted he will be sworn in on Gambian soil
