Former immigration boss Tamsir Jassey is GAP national president as party says it’s a decision not ‘regretted’

Former director general of Gambia Immigration Department Tamsir Jassey has been appointed national president of Gambia Action Party.

Jassey spent six years at Mile 2 following his implication in the 2006 Ndure Cham coup. He was later released following the visit to the country of US civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.

Jassey was appointed GAP national president on January 25 “after consultative efforts and a decision that is not regretted”, according a statement by the party.
