British media have been in love with his past as an Argos security guard, but it is after all a trivial detail (essentially just a temporary job to save up for his education + possibly student job) with no relevance for either his involvement in politics or business career. I think its

I thought the article I linked to said "and his
Coalition 2016" after mentioning Barrow, but apparently that was another JollofNews article. But this isn't an issue where there is any real doubt. The only possible doubt is whether "Coalition Gambia 2016" was its official name and "Coalition 2016" an

Coalition 2016 was originally used in the article, and has for some reason repeatedly been replaced with various mixes of independent, parties and coalition by two different posters, most likely taken this from the
British press, though neither have provided sources. As I have pointed out earlier

There seems to be some struggle here over calling the coalition "Coalition 2016" or "Independent

Gambian press. For visual documentation see:

Does anyone have any detail about which institution he studied at while in London? Or even confirmation he was a student at all - student fees and London rents would have made it more expensive than working in Argos could pay for.

Another related matter is that Barrow actually left UDP in order to be a candidate for the coalition, so its incorrect to state UDP as his party. See:
