As Barrow’s NPP and GDC square up for the Niamnia West seat, the leader of the Gambia Moral Congress says the forthcoming elections have been misinterpreted by many as a personal political championship between President Barrow and Mama Kandeh, thus relegating the needs of the poor people of Niamina in the political equation.
GMC leader Mai Fatty said the highly anticipated by-elections should be about a contest of ideas and who can best represent the welfare of the constituency. GMC has not put up a candidate in the by-election.
“The election should be about who can best represent the welfare of the constituents based on their integrity, track-record, competence & vision. It should be about a contest of ideas, now reduced to some type of political carnival’’.
The forthcoming National Assembly by-elections is slated for November 7, 2020 where the NPP is expected to lock horns with the GDC. Both parties did their nominations on Saturday with GDC filing Yerro Jallow as its candidate while Barrow’s NPP put up Birom Sowe.
