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.
