The announcement was made on Sunday during a press conference at a local hotel in Kotu, where party officials reaffirmed their commitment to political cooperation. The renewed agreement underscores their shared commitment to strengthening political stability and consolidating support ahead of the upcoming polls.
Addressing party supporters and members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), Hon. Jatta has reiterated that the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) remains firmly committed to its partnership with the National People’s Party (NPP) ahead of the December 5 elections.
Hon. Jatta emphasised that the APRC will continue to work hand in hand with the ruling party to ensure victory at the polls. He described the alliance as a strategic partnership built on mutual trust and shared political objectives, urging supporters to remain united and focused on delivering success for the coalition.
The statement comes at a crucial moment in the campaign season, as parties intensify efforts to mobilize grassroots support and strengthen their electoral base. By reaffirming its commitment, the APRC seeks to dispel any speculation about internal divisions and to project a united front with the NPP.
Party officials described the move as a continuation of their strategic partnership, aimed at ensuring unity and effective governance. The alliance is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape as the country heads toward the highly anticipated presidential contest in December 2026.
Political observers note that alliances of this nature play a significant role in shaping electoral outcomes in The Gambia, particularly in consolidating votes across different constituencies. The December 5 polls are expected to be a decisive test of the coalition’s strength and its ability to maintain broad-based support.
