Gambia Action Party has congratulated National People’s Party less than 24 hours since the party stunned its opponents at the Niamina West and Kerr Jarga by-elections.
NPP’s Birom Sowe swept aside his GDC rival Yero Jallow in the Niamina West national assembly by-election while the party’s Awa Gaye overcame her GDC, APRC and UDP challengers in the Kerr Jarga councillorship by-election.
Gambia Action Party a few days before the Niamina West by-election faced criticism after its leader Musa Ousainou Yali Batchilly travelled to Niamina to talk to supporters of GAP to vote for the NPP candidate.
And in a statement, GAP congratulated NPP on its victory saying: “We congratulate NPP on the landslide victory registered in both Niamina West and Kerr Jarga Ward respectively. GAP has gratitude beyond words to have thrown our weight on NPP which led to many criticisms.
“We have strong convictions that many underestimated minority as the so-called majority were reduced to none. The political hypocrisy must end as 2021 will bring the most desired filth [sic].”
