Colonel Musa Jammeh is set to declare his Gambia Football Federation (GFF) presidential election candidacy in the coming weeks.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Falcons FC had long been linked with a potential bid.

According to reliable sources, Colonel Jammeh has concluded his  internal consultations.

Colonel Jammeh is expected to announce his candidacy for the GFF presidential election.

A key meeting was recently convened, where a final decision was reached for Colonel Jammeh to enter the GFF presidential election race.

An official announcement is now believed to be imminent, which would see Jammeh join an increasingly competitive list of candidates of Kemo Ceesay, Sadibou Kamaso and Amadou LS Jaiteh ahead of the  GFF president election slated for August 2026.

Colonel Jammeh's entry is expected to further intensify the build-up to what is shaping up to be a highly contested leadership battle within Gambian football circles.
