Modou
Cham and Ebrima Nyang, Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) National Assembly
candidates for Jeshwang and Latrikunda Sabiji constituencies respectively, have
expressed hope of winning the upcoming National Assembly elections.
They
also called on the people to maintain the peace that the country is known for,
during the electoral period.
The
duo made the remarks while speaking to journalists yesterday, shortly after the
Independent Electoral Commission accepted their candidacy for the 6th April
2017 National Assembly elections.
Mr
Cham alias MC said that when he is eventually elected, he would reject any bill
taken to the assembly that is not in the interest of the people.
He
said he would fully represent the interest of his electorate, and would always
stand against any bill that is not out to serve the interest of the people.
MC
said even if he happened to lose the election he would take it in good faith
because his party “is still a young party”; so he would go back and join the
rest in building the party for the coming presidential election.
Ebrima
Nyang, GDC candidate for Latrikunda Sabiji, also called for peace in the electoral
process, saying people should not allow themselves to be divided by politics.
They both expressed optimism in winning the election.
