UDP leader Ousainou Darboe has called on non-UDP members to join the party insisting UDP is a national party.
Writing on his official Facebook page on Monday, Mr Darboe said: “Join us and help bring the change we are all yearning for. The United Democratic Party (UDP) is a national party with an open door policy that allows every Gambian irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity or religious background to join as a bona fide member, participate in the party’s activities, and have your voice heard. We value diversity, equality and social justice.
“Becoming a member of the UDP means you will be joining a vibrant community of selfless patriots who continue to stand ready to promote and defend our Democracy, Freedom, Human and Civil Rights!”
Mr Darboe’s plea comes amid a raft of leaders publicly endorsing President Adama Barrow.
At least four leaders endorsed the president on Sunday and more are expected to follow suit on Monday.
