Africa-Press – Gambia. Hamat N.K. Bah, Minister of Lands, Regional Government, and Religious Affairs, has called on Cabinet Ministers, Seyfolu (chiefs), Alikalolu, Governors, and National People’s Party (NPP) officials to intensify efforts toward securing President Adama Barrow’s re-election.
Minister Bah made the remarks during a “Meet the People Tour” stop in Daru Mbayen, Upper Saloum District, in the Central River Region (CRR).
Addressing residents, the minister underscored the importance of voter registration ahead of the polls.
“Let us convene in McCarthy to plan the voter registration exercise for CRR North and South. Let’s ensure that President Adama Barrow secures over 80 percent of the votes in both regions,” he urged.
He encouraged community leaders and residents to work diligently toward achieving this target, noting that the necessary financial support for the mobilization efforts would be provided. He further stressed that, with financing assured, families must ensure their eligible children are registered to vote.
“From now until December 1, our main priority is our candidate, Adama Barrow. That is our only focus,” he added.
Minister Bah also echoed President Barrow’s frequent reminder about loyalty and consistency, saying, “When you are a guest and you are provided breakfast and lunch, you can be assured dinner will also be served.” He praised the President’s commitment to national development, stating that his work is centred on improving the lives of Gambians.
Meanwhile, at a separate meeting in Njoben, Seedy Njie, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and NPP Deputy Spokesperson, reaffirmed the party’s confidence in the President.
“We voted for President Barrow in 2021 and have no regrets. Since independence, no president has delivered more development to both CRR North and South than President Barrow,” Njie said.
He highlighted visible improvements in electricity supply, road infrastructure, healthcare facilities, schools, and agricultural support, noting that the region has experienced development “across all sectors.”
