Africa-Press – Gambia. Gambian entrepreneur and philanthropist Saikou Sawo has officially announced the formation of the Golden Era Party (GEP), a new political movement he says is built on the principles of discipline, vision, and service to the people.
At 39, Sawo is positioning the GEP as more than just another political organization, describing it as a transformative movement aimed at tackling the country’s most pressing challenges. According to him, the party’s mission centers on job creation, sustainable economic growth, and broad-based social development.
“From modest beginnings to global achievement, my journey stands as living proof that discipline, vision, and service can transform lives,” Sawo stated at the launch.
Sawo recently returned to The Gambia to establish Mirrored, a flagship hub focused on aesthetics, medical tourism, youth apprenticeship, and job creation. He disclosed that he has already invested more than $2 million into diverse strategic ventures across the country, generating and sustaining over 50 full-time jobs with plans for expansion in the coming years.
His professional journey began after graduating as the top student at SOS High School in Bakoteh in 2005, earning him a scholarship to pursue higher education in the United States. He went on to obtain both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, served as a U.S. Army veteran, and built a successful career in corporate America. He rose through the ranks of Fortune 500 companies before founding SBXG+, an innovative technology and consulting start-up, and later expanded into entrepreneurship in The Gambia.
The Golden Era Party’s slogans reflect its focus on empowerment and inclusivity:
“We are building a Gambia where youth have futures at home, not the backway.”
“Women are supported with childcare, business growth, and resources.”
“Farmers feed the nation and earn their true value.”
“Education means strong schools, training, and jobs.”
“Hospitals provide care, not excuses.”
“Roads and power connect every community.”
“Leaders serve with honesty and integrity.”
Through the GEP, Sawo says he intends to usher in a new political era in The Gambia—one that prioritizes accountability, development, and service to the people.
