Addressing a press conference at QCity, Mr Batchilly said although the decision was taken without Mr Bojang\u2019s consent, he is confident that he (Bojang) will accept the offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hoped that he will accept our selection and lead our party to victory.<\/p>\n

Batchilly went: \u201cWe assure the party supporters and entire Gambians that Mr Bojang is the solution to all problems we are facing today.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said only the right caliber people can take the country out of the troubles it is facing.
\n\u201cAnd I want to say that GAP will win the next presidential election. We will rule this country, there is no doubt about that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The new candidate, Bojang, was born on 5 January, 1969 in Brufut Kombo North, West Coast Region. He attended Brufut Primary school from 1975 to 1984 and after Saint Peter\u2019s high school, Gambia College of Nursing and Midwifery from 1989 to 1992 and graduated as a State Registered Nurse.<\/p>\n
