The December presidential election is only months away and Gambians have been busy registering to vote. From Banjul to Koina, the IEC has installed voter registration centres everywhere to enable eligible Gambians to register. The exercise is well noticed in Basse.
Mustapha Dampha is the IEC official at the Basse Community Center and he told The Fatu Network, the registration is going on smoothly at the center.
“People are coming out even though the turn out is less compare to the privious center. The area is a commercial area and people go about their businesses so they only come around when they have time to,” he said.
Eighteen-year-old Kumba Drammeh was out to get her voter’s card. She called on her peers to get their voters cards.
“I’m out to get my voter’s card to enable me vote come December because for me, it is not only a right but a responsibility. I just hope my peers will understand this and do the same,” she said.
Standing beside Kumba was Momodou Lamin Sillah. Muhamed shares the same age as Kumba. He said: “I feel great to know I got a voter’s card to enable me vote for my choice of candidate in the coming presidential elections.”
In Basse, the voter’s registration has been going on smoothly. This part of the GAMBIA will play an important role in deciding which candidate goes to State House come December.
