The National Reconciliation Party has resolved to negotiating a ‘complete’ merger with President Adama Barrow’s National People’s Party in the future – putting to bed any ambiguity around the two parties’ love affair.
NRP on Saturday held a huge congress in Ngai’n Sanjal North Bank Region where most of the party’s leaders were unanimously returned to their roles including leader Hamat Bah.
And in a resolution after a closed-door plenary, the party came out with a massive announcement: to work towards a complete merger with NPP.
Party leader Hamat Bah said: “We know that Gambians were expecting us to clear the air and come out with a very clear position about our relationship with the NPP and Adama Barrow for that matter.
“We want no ambiguity, we want clear message to be sent across the world. We are committed to negotiating with the NPP leadership for a complete merger of the two parties in the future.
“We want to strengthen democracy, the politics of Adama Barrow – politics of development in this country to make sure that Gambians are pulled out of this evil poverty.”
