Africa-Press – Gambia. The National People’s Party (NPP) has formally written to its National Youth President, Kebba Madi Bojang, demanding an explanation for his recent absences from key party events and allegations linking him to the formation of a new political party.
Speaking on a telephone interview, Hon. Seedy Njie, Deputy Spokesperson of the NPP, confirmed that Bojang has been given a seven-day deadline to respond to the concerns outlined in the letter.
“We wrote to him [Kebba Madi Bojang] to explain why he did not attend the NPP Fundraising Gala and the official opening of the party’s headquarters in Bundung,” Njie stated. “We also want him to address circulating rumors that he is involved in the establishment of a new political party. He has been given the opportunity to clarify these matters within seven days.”
When asked what action the party would take if Bojang failed to respond, Njie said the matter would be escalated to the National Executive for further consideration.
“If he does not respond, the party will refer the issue to the National Executive for appropriate action,” he said.
Addressing whether the NPP has made efforts to reconcile with Bojang, Njie maintained that the party remains open to dialogue.
“Every viable political party, including the NPP, engages both members and non-members. It is always our wish to see everyone remain in the party. We encourage unity, and we want those who have left—or are considering leaving—to return and continue working with us,” he added.
Responding to questions about why the party did not engage Bojang privately before issuing a formal letter, Njie said the NPP is open to continued engagement.
“I cannot deny that the party has engaged, is engaging, and will continue to engage with Bojang and others. Our desire is for everyone to remain within the NPP, and for those outside to join us as well,” he said.
Kebba Madi Bojang has been widely speculated to be involved in the formation of the National Democratic Party (NDP). He has yet to publicly respond to the allegations or the NPP’s letter.
