Yahya (Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung) Jammeh (born May 25, 1965) is the President of The Gambia (since 1996). As chairman of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council, he took control of the country in a military coup in July 1994, and was elected as president two years later in widely criticized elections, and was sworn into office on November 6, 1996. He founded the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction as his political party. He was re-elected in 2001, under a process generally deemed fair.\n\nPresident Jammeh was formerly named Yahya Alphonse Jemus Jebulai Jammeh.\n\nA coup attempt against Jammeh was reported to have been thwarted in March 2006. Jammeh is expected to run for a third term as president later in 2006. [1]\n\nPreceded by:\nDawda Jawara President of The Gambia\n1994–present Succeeded by:\nIncumbent

He is the prime minister, not president.\n\nBecause election fraud seems to be common in the Western world.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

No I do not think he should be President because leaders should show better judgement reguardless of what country they are leading. \n\nThat being said he does have some following so there is always that potential there but the current President (according to BBC) want the next President to be a female so I don't think he will get it. He has become somewhat of an embarrasment to the rest of the ANC.\n\nHowever that being said he has the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League supporting him (http://allafrica.com/stories/200605120299.html) as President which really sucks.\n\nThere are other better potential presidents we can only watch as it unfolds.

Liberia's third President was Daniel Bashiel Warner from 1864-1868. His main concern was how the indigenous people, particularly the natives in the interior, could be brought into the society and become useful citizens.\n\nWarner also wrote the lyrics to the Liberian national anthem.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four\ntimes in a row, because he was an outstanding President. He died during his fourth term having complications from Polio.\n\nIt was later, that a Constitutional Ammendment was added, which restricted a President to serve no more than two terms.

From the accounts I read he is trying to get back his previous support but his crowds get thinner and thinner.  I understand he is going to swear himself in as the legitimate President and try to stop the real President elect from taking office in December.  However, I understand people are getting tired of it and I suspect he might have done better to have accepted the cabinet seat and a pivotal role, when he could have positioned himself for the next election.

Wow! These liberals never cease to amaze me.\n\nNo, a President cannot remain in office after a second term for ANY reason. Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment states:\n\n"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."\n\nNow, the danger lies in electing someone like Al Gore or John Kerry whose main concern is what the United Nations thinks. Both have stated that they would work in close cooperation with the United Nations. And if you think we have problems now, wait until Kofi Annan is calling the shot in our country.

He is a selfish turd who learned well under that other dictator Joao Havelange. 2010 is going to be a nightmare in South Africa with all the murders,rape and violence. Plus FIFA is paying for all the Stadiums etc for the first time. Why? Because Blatter got the African vote in exchange so he can be re elected. Why these 3rd World Countries get a vote that carries the same weight as the big Countries beats me.

The third United States president was Thomas Jefferson. The third mayor [not governor] of the District of Columbia was  Sharon Pratt Kelly, the successor to Marion Barry.

I think 2 shorter terms of 3 years would be wiser.  The present president is clearly a madman - I know the entire country can't be held responsible for his actions (as well as lack of actions in times of crises), but I just cannot comprehend how this could have happened!

There will always be a president.  Someone always wants the office...many as the ultimate power trip.  Think of it, the fame and power of being the elected head of a country.  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the brightest and the best...it usually means a wealthy, dishonest, career politician with his own agenda...not a normal, intelligent, middle income john q. public who really cares about the U.S. and the people.  Just my own opinion....

only 'feathers of same bird flock together'.  when it is impossible for the present to find a politician of His Excellency's calibre in our country, how could we expect the 'politicians' to elect him for the consecutive term?\n\nit's only the so called people's representatives who may not elect him, but if the true citizens of India are given a chance, he'll surely be elected as the President, to remain in office throughout........\n\nBut he must be given the 'actual powers' to restructure the nation.  then see the way the other nations look at our India.  it's only him who could make this possible.\n\nI SALUTE THE HON'BLE PRESIDENT!

The Next President\nMurray Wesson does some speculation on the question of who Thabo Mbeki will appoint as his deputy president. It’s an interesting question because whoever gets the job will almost certainly be South Africa’s next president after Mbeki completes his second term.\n\nMurray argues that you can eliminate three of the top five candidates for various reasons (health, scandals, etc.), leaving Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Trevor Manuel. And that between them, Dlamini-Zuma is the more likely candidate. Perhaps, but my sources (oh, the joys of living in Pretoria) tell me that she may not want the job. That doesn’t mean she won’t accept it though! When the president phones you up to tell you that he wants you to be his successor, it’s a rare person who replies “sorry, I’ve got other plans”.\n\nThat said, I think Murray may be making a mistake in his analysis by dismissing Jacob Zuma. Before the election, I also figured that Mbeki would consider him a liability and use the cabinet reshuffle as an opportunity to appoint someone else. But if Mbeki was really planning to ditch Zuma, the most logical place to send him would be the premiership of KZN, not some cabinet post. My prediction is that Jacob Zuma stays on as deputy president.
