He also urged his supporters to accept God\u2019s will. The GDC performed dismally in Saturday\u2019s poll after failing to secure a single seat, including the two seats it held in Jimara and Niamina East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very proud of the party supporters and candidates throughout the country. I appreciate the amount of energy and efforts you invested in this election. It is unprecedented. I have never seen the party supporters putting this much effort towards the party and you have done all these for free. I appeal to all of you not to lose hope. We have done our best and the intention was to win but we have no control over the voters who have decided not to give us the chance this time around but let us leave everything to God,\u201d he told supporters on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Kandeh said the election will not define the future of the GDC. \u201cThis will also pass because there is nothing that will last forever. I congratulate all those who are elected, especially those of the No Alliance, UDP, NRP and NPP. I am sure that some of the MPs will serve the country\u2019s interest,\u201d he said.<\/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.
