“After careful consideration and thorough reflection, I have concluded that it is in my best interest to discontinue my association with the party,” he wrote.
“Please know that this decision was not reached easily. I have dedicated countless hours advocating for the UDP and its causes. However, I believe that by stepping away from the party, I will have the freedom to explore alternative avenues for making a meaningful contribution to public life,” he said.
Hon Seedy S.K. Njie, deputy speaker of National Assembly and NPP’s deputy spokesperson, applauded Hon. Sowe’s step.
“Your decision to quit your party, the United Democratic Party ((UDP) immediately is indeed a bold decision based on right reasoning and your faithfulness to the best interest of not only you as you have put it, but the country as a whole,” he said.
“This piece of news is supremely welcomed by the National People’s Party and our doors are wide open. Your wealth of expertise and experience will add value to our great party once you are admitted.”
He added that NPP is a party of equals and their mantra, ‘national cohesion, tolerance, peace, prosperity and progress’, is the chief cornerstone for all the members and followers.
“Strategic national interest is the sole aim of all and sundry at our home (NPP). You will find respect and dignity in NPP as directed by our visionary leader, His Excellency President Adama Barrow and enshrined in our Party’s constitution and the Constitution of The Gambia respectively.”
