Gambia Democratic Congress has denied reports the party lost its office in Banjul because it refused to forge an alliance with President Adama Barrow.
Freedom newspaper reported on Monday GDC’s office in Banjul had been taken by owner Eliman Jallow.
But the party’s spokesperson Omar Ceesay told The Fatu Network the reports are not true.
He said: “Eliman Jallow is a good man and a member of GDC. He is part of a group called GDC Diehard, a group led by the wife of Mamma Kandeh Assanatou Kandeh.
“He has a property in Banjul which he gave to GDC Diehard for them to do their work. The agreement he had with GDC Diehard is to occupy the property from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022. But he now said he has an organization that wants an office and wants the office. He said he will look for another office for GDC.
“Because it was GDC Diehard that renovated that office and put the furniture in it. So this is what he told GDC. He never sat with Honourable Mamma Kandeh that he should work with Adama Barrow or take back his office.
“He never took back the office because Mamma Kandeh refused to join President Barrow. The only person he once spoke to for Mamma Kandeh to work with Adama Barrow is the wife of Mamma Kandeh Assanatou.
“He once sat with Assanatou and told her he loves Honourable Kandeh so much and wanted Honourable Kandeh and President Barrow to work together since they come from the same place, grew up together and are age mates.”
