Thousands of Gambians marched in the capital Banjul Sunday calling on President Adama Barrow to serve a five-year mandate rather than the three years he promised the electorate in 2016.
The march came after thousands took to the streets in December calling for him to respect the commitment he made with his coalition partners and stand down.
Under the terms of that deal, he agreed to serve as a transitional leader, after being elected in December 2016.
But supporters of Barrow say the constitution allows him to complete a five-year mandate.
Barrow defeated the country's former dictator Yahya Jammeh in the second-round run-off of the election.
When Jammeh tried stay on, pressure from the international community forced him into exile in January 2017. The former autocrat had ruled for 22 years.
Jammeh, who is living in exile in Equatorial Guinea, reportedly wants to return to The Gambia. In a leaked recording he approved a demonstration by his supporters scheduled for Thursday.
A truth and reconciliation commission set up to examine his era has heard testimony from around 190 witnesses of torture, murder, rape and witch hunts.
While he still has his supporters, there have also been calls for him to be returned to the country for prosecution.
Activists who want Barrow to stand down plan to demonstrate again next Sunday.
