General Lamin Bojang and his team of ANRD leaders met President Adama Barrow on Monday evening to throw their weight behind him.
General Bojang last week filed in his nomination papers at the IEC for consideration for the December presidential election. His nomination was rejected.
He has now suspended his campaign and has now gone ahead to throw his weight behind President Barrow.
He told reporters at State House: “After series of consultation with other political parties, and also after laying down their conditions to us, we unanimously with ease and comfort chose NPP to be the party that we are going to align with.
“We are here this evening to endorse the candidature of His Excellency Mr Adama Barrow. ANRD is going to throw its weight behind NPP, it’s going to join NPP for December 4th election and ANRD accepted and endorsed the candidature of Mr Adama Barrow who is the secretary general and flag-bearer of NPP.”
