Mai Fatty explains why he held UDP flag

GMC leader Ma Ahmad Fatty has lifted the lid on why he held a UDP flag in his hand while travelling to the IEC for his nomination on Monday afternoon.

Mr Fatty said: “On my way to the nomination this afternoon,  my convoy encountered UDP returnees from nominating their Party Leader. They happily rushed towards my vehicle to shake hands. I permitted them way.

“They handed me a UDP flag which I accepted to wave briefly, in the spirit of political tolerance and national unity. GMC, being the most disciplined political Party in The Gambia, politics to us, is a source of goodness, not division and acrimony.”
