Kaba Bajo defeated Sadibou Kamaso in the race for The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) presidency to sit for his third term in office during an election held at Paradise Suite Hotel.
Kaba got 51 votes as opposed to his challenger, Sadibou Kamaso’s 25 votes with one invalid vote.
The advice I have for Sadibou is general and I do not want to mention it. The only thing I am disappointed about is how highly contested the election would be. I expected a form of congratulation from my opponent (Sadibou Kamaso). That is disappointing.
He added that though this would not change anything in his personal relationship with him, Kamaso will still remain his younger brother.
Asked whether this would be his third and final bid for the GFF presidency, he said, “the constitution of The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) shows that this is going to be my last term and I have no intention of changing it and I would not.”
According to him, the delegates gave him back their votes after delivering what they were yearning for (the development of Gambian football.)
“I am tested by the stakeholders and proved to be the right person. This is why they renewed their trust and confidence in me. My achievements speak for themselves; that is why I decided to continue,” he explained.
Lamin Kaba Bajo was first voted in as The Gambia Football Federation president in 2014. He won his second term in 2018. Saturday’s victory puts him in charge of the highest position in the country’s football for the next four years, which runs till August 2026.
