We know Adama Barrow is a democrat and we believe that he can move this country’s development forward. Working together with Adama Barrow will make a big value for the Gambian people.

I therefore call on all the supporters of NRP throughout the country to remain firm and solid behind the candidature of Adama Barrow come 4th December 2021.”

He therefore urged his party supporters to refrain from political insults and abuse and respect fellow opposition politician supporters and candidates.

“But in doing so, we must respect all players in the field. No opposition candidate or opposition supporter will be deprived of its rights and responsibility. No one will be maltreated; we will defend democracy wherever we are,” he urged.

He continued: “We want to put the politics of insult and abuse as history in The Gambia. Politics of issues and politics of development, politics of advancement will be agenda of every political party. I appeal to all my colleagues in the political arena to remain resolute [and] committed to the principle of democracy to make sure that this country remains peaceful.”
