The outcome was not by chance. It reflected consensus, confidence and a shared direction among party members.
Delegates drawn from all five constituencies and ten wards across CRR North stood together in one voice, signaling that the grassroots structure of UNITE is strong, coordinated and ready for the next phase of political engagement.
In a political climate where internal contests often dominate headlines, the absence of competition for the region’s top positions sent a clear message: the party’s regional base is consolidated and aligned.
The congress also highlighted a significant milestone for women’s representation. Eight of the 25 elected officials are women, accounting for 32 per cent of the executive. In an environment where women are frequently underrepresented in leadership, the outcome stood as a practical demonstration of inclusion within the party’s regional structure.
Doro Bah of Lower Saloum was elected Regional Chairman. He will be supported by Modou Kaddy Kah of Niani and Mansali Fatty of Sami as Vice Chairmen. The women’s leadership within the executive is led by Regional Chairwoman Kaddijatou Jallow and Regional Vice Chairwoman Jarra Secka.
The region’s campaign structure was also put in place, with Modou Lamin Bah elected as Regional Campaign Manager and Sarjo Camara serving as Assistant Campaign Manager.
Beyond the formalities of electing officials, the gathering in Kaur projected a message of preparedness. Party members described the congress as a step forward in strengthening internal organisation and readiness at the regional level.
As proceedings concluded, the tone was one of confidence. For CRR North, the day was not simply about filling positions. It was about signaling unity, structure and growth.
UNITE, party members say, continues to expand its presence peacefully, democratically and inclusively.
