GAMBIA-POLITICS-VOTE-UNREST — Incumbent Gambian President Yahya Jammeh listens to one of his aides in Banjul on November 29, 2016, during the closing rally of the electoral campaign of the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC). More than 880,000 voters are expected to cast their ballots when the west African country goes to the polls on December 1, 2016. Jammeh has won four elections with his ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction, following a 2002 constitutional amendment lifting term limits. Rights bodies and media watchdogs including Reporters Without Borders (RSF) accuse Jammeh of cultivating a "pervasive climate of fear" and of crushing dissent against his regime, one cause of the mass exodus of Gambian youths to Europe. / AFP / MARCO LONGARI (Photo credit should read MARCO LONGARI/AFP/Getty Images)

APRC Thursday issued a statement dismissing as false claims by a member of the party Pa Modou Mbowe that he spoke with former President Jammeh who reportedly said APRC should not form an alliance with any political party including NPP.

The claims have been making the rounds online in the past few days.

APRC however in a statement signed by first deputy leader Ousman Rambo Jatta insisted Jammeh never spoke with anyone to dissuade APRC supporters from going into an alliance with any political party.

“All we can confirm to the Gambians at this moment is that the former president is in support of the executive and our political efforts to help the party move forward and restore his legacy as a great former president who deserves the respect due to him,” APRC said.
