UDP leader Ousainou Darboe told supporters on Saturday his victory in this December’s presidential election is ordained by God.
“On the 5th of December, it’s God himself who ordained it… Ousainou Darboe [will be] president of this country,” Mr Darboe told supporters in Brufut at a huge rally on Saturday.
The UDP Brufut meeting is the first major political gathering for the party since the end of the Ramadan fast month.
At the meeting, the UDP leader pleaded with Gambians to give the party a chance to be in power if they are to enjoy greater development in all sectors.
Mr Darboe said: “We want you to give us a chance to show you we are not like the others. The only choice is United Democratic Party. Whether one likes it or not, United Democratic Party was there when everyone thought we were foolish.
“United Democratic Party was there when people thought we were committing suicide over what we were doing.”
