Opposition APRC has said that it will recapture State House in the next presidential elections.
The party made this known at a rally in Brikama on Saturday that brought together hundreds of its supporters across the country.
Speaking at the rally, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, the interim party leader of APRC said the rally has demonstrated that “it is only the next presidential election that is between APRC and Yahya Jammeh from going back to State House.”
“People do ask whether Jammeh will come back or not, I want to tell you that you should ask when Jammeh should comeback but not whether he should come. This is his country and nothing can stop him from coming to this country,” he added.
He however, renewed his called for the Independent Electoral Commission chairman to resign, adding that giving all what the IEC boss said after Jammeh was defeated they do not have confidence in him anymore and that they deem any election he leads as not transparent.
Musa Amul Nyassi, National Assembly Member for Foni Kansala, said that “APRC will rule the Gambia again ‘At all cost’, there is nothing that can come between them and the Statehouse.”
He also debunked claims that his party used to bring people from Senegalese southern region of Cassamance to vote for them during presidential elections, saying when one is on top your enemies will always come up allegations and counter allegations just to tarnish your image.
He said: “The APRC is ready and nothing can come between us and the State House. Any party that want to be part of the next government should come and join the APRC if not you will have no chance of making it in the next government.”
He said despite all the smear campaign against the former ruling party the party’s support remains relatively strong and unaffected.
The former APRC Banjul North parliamentarian, Lai Saine asserted that former President Jammeh is a Gambian and nothing can stop him from coming back to the country
Dodou Jah, APRC deputy spokesperson, said the Coalition government is making a big mistake by continuously keeping Jammeh in exile.
