Ramou Sabally formalised her UDP membership on Friday when she met UDP leader Ousainou Darboe at a huge meeting at the party’s office in Manjai.
Mrs Sabally, a stalwart member of NPP, dramatically quit the president party’s last weekend and joined UDP earlier this week. She met Darboe on Friday amid a huge fanfare.
Mr Darboe reacting to Mrs Sabally’s decision said the woman politician has come to join her father’s party.
“We welcome to the United Democratic Party, a party whom you know your father, Lang Marong, established. I do believe in what you said, that you will work for UDP and anyone who works for UDP is working for the country,” Mr Darboe said.
Scores of UDP supporters had earlier on Friday gathered at Mrs Sabally’s house in Busumbala as she prepared to leave for Manjai.
