However, some of the coalition partners have expressed their fear that unless a meeting is called to iron out modalities for the election, there could be division among the partners over the issue. A number of the parties have said they want to contest more seats than they are holding in the current parliament, but sources within the coalition suggested that the NPP has not agreed to that. Mr Njie could not confirm this but referred this medium to wait for the party\u2019s official announcement today.<\/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.
