“Gambia is currently in dire need of well-informed and visionary Mayors and Chairperson. All these UDP candidates are committed, educated, patriotic, and have the interest of the country at heart, unlike other politicians who are only interested to be loyal to their party leader,” he explained.
According to him, UDP candidates are the favorable ones who can turn the Gambia’s economy around citing uncountable developments undertaken by his party’s incumbent Mayoress and Chairperson in Banjul, Kanifing, Mansa-Konko, Basse, and Kerewan for the past years.

He urged Gambian electorates to disown greedy parties, insensitive and corrupt politicians, and their sympathizers whose aims are to destroy this country based on their personal and political interests.
“If you elect UDP’s Mayoress and Chairperson in office, means you want rapid development to reach the door-steps of your Municipalities and regions,” Cham stated.
According to Cham, Gambians need Mayors and Chairpersons that will make sure peace and unity prevail within their municipalities and regions, than someone who will use taxpayers’ money for political campaigns.
