Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>NPP TO CONTEST 40 SEATS The National People\u2019s Party will contest 40 seats in April\u2019s National Assembly election, deputy spokesman Seedy Njie confirmed to The Standard last night. According to him, the remaining 13 seats would be contested by NPP\u2019s partners in the grand coalition namely, 7 for APRC, 5 for NRP and 1 for PPP.<\/p>\n

The APRC will contest in its five Foni constituencies as well as Jeshwang and Bundung, while the PPP will contest the Banjul Central seat. The National Reconciliation Party will contest only the parliamentary seats it is holding in Dankunku, Upper Saloum, Lower Saloum, Sabach Sanjal and Nianija.<\/p>\n

The NPP also announced that the eight NAMs the UDP expelled for reportedly shifting allegiance to Barrow, will now contest under the NPP in their respective constituencies. Two expelled GDC NAMs will also be sponsored by NPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to keep the defectors and other seats for our allies is out of the deep appreciation, respect and mutual understanding that exists between them and the NPP which we hope will continue when, hopefully, we come out triumphantly in the elections,\u201d Mr Njie said.<\/p>\n

The party which started its selection process Tuesday, confirmed at closing time last night, that the following constituencies have been finalised while the selection process will continue in other areas right up to Friday:<\/p>\n

North Bank Region Lower Niumi \u2013 Tamsir Cham Central Baddibu \u2013 Momodou Jobe Upper Baddibu \u2013 Sankung Dampha CRR North Sami \u2013 Musukebba Keita Niani \u2013 Rohey Ceesay<\/p>\n
