Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Pateh Baldeh, a former spokesperson of the National Reconciliation Party, has announced that he will form his own political party. Baldeh, a long-time member of the NRP, broke ranks with the party to contest last month\u2019s parliamentary elections as an independent candidate in Jarra East, which was won by the NPP.<\/p>\n

Asked how serious he is about this idea, Mr Baldeh said this is not a dream but a practical step. \u201cI have already started work and have assigned people who are currently sounding out the opinions of people on the matter. My political party will be a party of difference because I have worked with many political parties in the country directly or indirectly,\u201d Baldeh said.<\/p>\n

He added that he wants a party which would promote real democracy from within and not a system where one is limited in roles because of the party leader.<\/p>\n

\u201dI will never work for any politician in this country now,\u201d Baldeh, a native of Dongoro-Ding told The Standard.<\/p>\n
