The newly registered political party of Mamma Kandeh has been denied a permit to hold its first political rally which is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Saturday, June 4, 2016 at the Buffer Zone. A letter from the office of the inspector general of police stated that permit could not be granted at this time. This is not the first time that a political party is denied a permit to hold a rally, it has happened to almost all the political parties as part of Jammeh’s plans to keep Gambians uninformed about the political situation of the country.

Below we produce a copy of the announcement from the GDC about the cancellation.
