A website has said anti-FGM campaigner Jaha Dukureh is slated to become the world’s youngest female president.
Mrs Dukureh joined PDOIS in March this year, one of only a few famous women leaders to publicly declare their support for a party.
Mrs Dukureh made a name for herself a few years ago when she was tapped by The Guardian to lead a campaign against female genital mutilation in Africa.
A quote attributed to Mrs Dukureh on the www.jahadukureh.com website said: “Together we hold the future of The Gambia in our hands. We must walk forward together, with intention and focus. Moving as one, we can we protect the country we love.”
The Fatu Network understands Mrs Dukureh launched her campaign for president virtually on Wednesday attended by people close to her. Another launch with PDOIS leader Halifa Sallah is set to take place.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Mrs Dukureh will run in the December presidential election.
