Former president Yahya Jammeh has been named chairman and supreme leader of opposition Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction, APRC.
It comes as hundreds of delegates converged on Fatima Senior Secondary School in Bwiam for the 6th national congress of APRC. It’s the first time the party is holding such a high profile event without its founder, Yahya Jammeh.
The event which started on Saturday also churned out a new leadership with delegates agreeing to maintain Fabakary Tombong Jatta as the party’s interim leader. Mr Jatta returns to a position he has been in since former president Jammeh abandoned it.
Delegates have also voted to maintain Ousman Rambo Jatta deputy interim leader.
A special committee has also been set up by the congress to revisit the APRC constitution.
