GANU leader Sheikh Tijang Hydara has announced his party will join President Adama Barrow’s National People’s Party.
The Gambia Alliance for National Unity (GANU) will henceforth join the National People’s Party (NPP) to support the country’s development objectives and to boost national reconciliation,” Mr Hydara said in a statement.
He added: “The country’s national development is a top priority and GANU is ready to join hands with the President of the Republic to further develop our beloved nation.
“Therefore, in my capacity as the party leader of GANU, I call on all my supporters to join President Barrow’s wagon of development for the best interest of the country.”
It comes as Mr Hydara’s political rise suffered a huge blow after former President Jammeh’s supporters cancelled their decision to support. It also comes after he failed the IEC’s nomination test.
