GDC leader Mamma Kandeh has said it’s not his business if Marie Sock is married or not, stating the woman has all the rights to vie for any position in The Gambia.
Marie Sock last month announced her plan to run for president next year, the first woman to do so.
Her announced was greeted with appreciable criticism in some quarters with some bringing her not-married status onto the fold.
Mamma Kandeh who personally knows Sock told The Fatu Network in an exclusive interview on the aspiring presidential candidate: “We know Marie. When Marie was coming to us we had not registered GDC. I was on the process to register the party. We were preparing our party constitution and party manifesto.
“This was the time she and and left us before we could register the party. We had a good relationship with her and we are wishing her good luck. She’s a woman, I think it’s nothing bad in it for her to ask for her right in the country.
“Married or not married, that’s not my business. She’s a citizen, she has all the rights to vie for any position in this country.”
