According to him, one of the main reasons for voting woud be to put in a leader who would solve some of the problems facing the country.
Adama Baldeh, a Gambian, said being one of the first 10 people who registered at her polling centre, showed how ready she is to take part in the upcoming election.
“There are so many areas which need development in the country but to my own perspective, the issue which needs an urgent intervention is the high cost of living in the country. The Gambia is among the few countries where survival is very expensive,” she said.
She finally advised other Gambians to vote wisely and not to be deceived by the sweet tongue of politicians.
Mbemba Dampha, a donkey rider, also expressed his readiness to vote in the upcoming election.
