Mamma Kandeh said ‘there’s no stress’ as he reacted to Saturday’s by-elections which saw GDC fail to defend Niamina West parliamentary and Kerr Jarga council seats.
Saturday’s by-elections were forced by the demise of GDC MP Demba Sowe and the resignation of the Kerr Jarga councillor who was also a GDC councillor. The party was effectively defending both seats when it lost them to newly NPP.
Speaking on the development, GDC leader Mamma Kandeh said he could only thank everyone for their respective inputs.
“We thank you, we pray for you and we say sorry for the inconvenience,” Kandeh said in an audio message to GDC supporters
He added: “This is democracy, it’s about us fastening our belts and work hard for the party. Everyone has done what he could.
“The people of Niamina and in Kerr Jarga have decided. It is not for GDC to decide. So we can only thank everyone.
“This is God’s will and whatever God wills happens. So there is no stress. Let’s continue working.”
The GDC leader also thanked UDP for the support the party has rendered GDC.
