Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The ruling National People\u2019s Party held primaries and candidate selections around the country yesterday. Most of the selections and primaries were low-key party affairs and have been overshadowed by the party\u2019s contentious primary in the West Coast Region, where a rigorous competition took place and the official tally at the end declared it a tie between Ahmed Gitteh and Seedy Ceesay. The former has disputed the results, but party officials have since rescheduled a repeat of the primary between the two leading contenders to take place on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

These are the party\u2019s candidates from other regions of the country for the upcoming local government elections: press has also been reliably informed that Ahmed Gitteh\u2019s supporters are planning to boycott the rescheduled Tuesday\u2019s primary between their candidate and Seedy Ceesay. We have not been able to reach Ahmed Gitteh to confirm the veracity of this claim.<\/p>\n

Candidate Region<\/p>\n

Saja Sarr Lower River Region<\/p>\n

Papa Tunkara North Bank Region<\/p>\n

Saikou Jawara Central River Region \u2013 North<\/p>\n

Sulayman Sawaneh Central River Region- South<\/p>\n

Muhammed Ceesay Upper River Region<\/p>\n

Bakary Badjie Kanifing Municipal Council<\/p>\n

Ebou Faye Banjul<\/p>\n

All party candidates were selected through primaries, except for Kanifing Municipal Council and Banjul.<\/p>\n
