At the initial stage when President Barrow won the election, I had series of discussion with regards to Lower Badibou\u2019s development and for this to be, I need to contest again. I wanted to go somewhere but the people of Badibou request for me to again serve them so I took it to be a national duty for my people and I need to come back and serve them.\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Hon Jawara reminded that the Njawara road is one of his key objectives, adding that it is one of the reasons why he wants to seek re-election. He pointed out that among the challenges facing his constituency is electricity and water supply, adding \u2018so if I return to parliament I will make sure these three key problems are addressed as it is also the reason the people of Badibou asked me to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President Adama Barrow has the authority and legitimate power to do projects but he can function well in doing those projects by the help of the parliament and that is why he needs people in the parliament to collectively archive their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen politicians pull crowds at the end lost, and this shows that crowd doesn\u2019t count, majority of the people vote base on competency, capability and that is why I say I\u2019m going to pull higher number of votes compared to my 2017 total votes.\u201d Hon. Jawara stated.<\/p>\n<p>Jawara contested in 2017 and won under the United Democratic Party ticket, but along the line they parted ways. In this upcoming parliamentary election he wants to contest under the ruling National People\u2019s Party ticket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
