Yahya Jammeh, an authoritarian president who ruled for 22 years, has confirmed he will voluntarily step down after being beaten in an election by property developer Adama Barrow. "I will help him work towards the transition," Jammeh said on state TV, after speaking to the president-elect by telephone. Barrow, 51, who has never held political office, won last Thursday's election with 45.5% of the vote.
