NPP to organize regional post-election victory celebration

By Adama Makasuba

The ruling National People’s Party whose candidate has just re-elected as president of the country will organize a post-election victory celebration for President-elect Adama Barrow, who won 4th December presidential election with 53% of the votes, in all the seven administrative regions.

Honorable Seedy Njie, spokesman for the ruling National People’s Party, said Barrow’s party is preparing to organize regional post-election victory celebration in all the seven administrative regions as he said the party invite everybody to their post-election victory celebration.

“The party is national and everybody is invited. We will have regional parties. There is no money that will be used from the State coffers, it is money from the party not from the State,” he said.

He also dismissed claims of the people that the party uses State resources to organize victory celebration as factually incorrect and unfounded allegations peddle by desperate individuals.

He said President-elect Barrow is a man who only knows work, saying “I think some of the reasons why President Adama Barrow was elected with absolute majority, with huge majority is because he strengthened the institutional democracy and established true separation of powers”

According to him, Barrow separated National People’s Party from the State, “Barrow is ready to work and he has been delivery beyond the expectation of Gambians and they decided to return him to power.”

He lashed out the opposition, United Democratic Party saying the party is finished, “when you know you are fighting a lost battle following a victory, they are devastated and they know is a game over for United Democratic Party. United Democratic Party is finished. You know I have been telling you before the presidential elections that Gambians like President Barrow’s development and Gambians appreciate his developmental trajectory.”

Barrow’s National People’s Party and Darboe’s United Democratic Party have been at a loggerhead for the past year since the two leaders’ fallout in 2019.
