Mamma Kandeh has said President Adama Barrow does not have the political muscle to win even in Mankamang Kunda.
President Barrow hails from Mankamang Kunda, a small village in the Jimara district of Upper River Region.
Mr Barrow last month went around the country announcing at the end of the tour Gambians want him to continue serving them. As a result, he announced he was forming his own political party.
But speaking at a party rally in Sare Buchu in URR on Sunday, GDC leader Mamma Kandeh reviewed Mr Barrow’s popularity, albeit unfavourably.
Kandeh said: “He doesn’t have a party, it’s a movement he has. But we want to tell him a movement can’t take him anywhere.
“If he’s truly sure of himself, let him form a party. If they’re saying they have taken over the country, the three years is now complete, let him call elections. But if you see him insisting on going for another two years, he is scared.
“He said it’s Gambians who asked him to form a party. We should then go for elections if he truly trusts himself. If people are misleading you (Barrow) saying you have taken the country, you will not have even 10%. You will not be able to win even in Sare Mankamang.”
