UDP has issued a statement pushing back at criticism levelled against the party for turning to foreign media after boycotting some media houses in The Gambia.
UDP are on a boycott of The Fatu Network and this week, the party announced it is forgoing time allocated to them at GRTS as they accused the IEC of trying to stifle free speech.
Some Gambians have bashed the party after Darboe appeared on TFM of Senegal in a campaign ad.
But in a statement on Saturday, UDP said: “In recent weeks we have received many requests for interviews by foreign media and audiences with some development partners. This is a clear indication that the UDP is the next government in waiting.
“Given the tight schedule, the party leader is, unfortunately, unable to answer positively to all the requests for interviews but will do so at the most convenient time!
“UDP is committed to flying the Gambian flag high and restoring a proper image of the country in and outside our borders.”
