 The Gambia has registered its first female presidential candidate for elections slated for December 4th. Mary Sock appeared at the election house in the company of two others, hoping to become the country's first female president. The nomination started Saturday with a submission of papers by a former Justice Minister who allegedly passed a bill in 2000 to indemnify soldiers who shot student protesters. The third nominated candidate was an educator who established a lot of tutors and information technology training college. Candidates are allowed to make submissions before the nominations close on November 5th.
