Seedy S.K. Njie, the deputy spokesperson of the National People’s Party (NPP), says there’s a credible and verified imperical survey that predicts a massive victory for President Adama Barrow in 2026.
During an interview on West Coast Radio on Monday, Njie said the National People’s Party executives, supporters, and its general membership are committed to delivering 75% votes to President Adama Barrow in 2026.
“We have not said this out of the blue. It’s scientific proof. It’s fact-based. We have done the assessment. People have gone throughout the length and breadth of the country, and we have seen what is happening. They have seen what the president is doing. The Gambian people believe that there is no alternative to the National People’s Party government,” NPP deputy spokesman stated.
The Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly added that Barrow’s government has succeeded in achieving what the country has been aspiring even before the attainment of independence.
“The aspirations of colonial administration, former governments of the PPP, and APRC for a more prosperous Gambia, more service delivery Gambia, more developed Gambia, more committed leadership to peaceful democracy, are what the National People’s Party and President Adama Barrow delivered to the Gambian people,” he pointed out.
He stated that with these achievements, Gambians believed that the government has fulfilled the bargain on their side of the social contract it had with them in excess.
Njie maintains that with the successes registered there is no room for complacency, and the president and the National People’s Party will continue to urge all the people to be committed to the national development and double their effort to achieving the revolutionization of the country.
Responding to the complaints about erratic electricity, rising cost of living, unaffordable rent, and poor health care system which are mostly amplified by the oppositions, Seedy Njie downplays the roles of oppositions, claiming they are not up to any good for a better Gambia.
“We’ve accepted their position. Their position is a position of deception and ill-intention for the country,” he alleges.
He acknowledges that the world is evolving and there are a lot of challenges, but the government is addressing those of them, stating that when one talks about the basic commodities, that’s agreeable, “That is why the president has put in prudent macro policies, including increment of salaries. We have agreed that things are expensive. It’s scientific proof that rice is cheaper in the Gambia compared to Senegal Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, and Ghana.”
