Long time PDOIS supporter Pa Suma has left the party he has been supporting for decades to join the United Democratic Party, UDP.
A professional carpenter who plies his trade at Latrikunda Sabiji, Mr Suma has been engaged in discussions with UDP youth leader Haji Suwaneh for almost a year but he held his ground until he met Momodou Sabally on Wednesday.
Having accepted that UDP has good polices that can transform The Gambia, Suma asked Haji to bring a person who can convince him that the UDP policy agenda can actually be implemented to transform this country.
After discussions with former SG Momodou Sabally and UDP executive member Aja Binta Jabbie together with Haji, Suma declared that he is now convinced and formally announced his support for UDP.
He narrated an encounter he once had with the UDP SG and party leader Lawyer Darboe that happened more than three decades ago; he said that Lawyer Darboe is a humane lawyer with deep sense of magnanimity and he trusts Darboe’s leadership style and sense of direction.
