He further pointed out that such a claim is the least act of sabotage he had expected from the GDC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI attended the event but didn\u2019t give any speech or statement there. I didn\u2019t say that I endorse Ousmane Sonko, and I didn\u2019t say the GDC had endorsed Ousman Sonko. Therefore, the GDC is wrong to issue such claims in the first place without proper investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the least act of sabotage I expect to come from the GDC. It is undone and they are wrong. I hope they will rectify their mistakes soon,\u201d Mc Cham said in his defence.<\/p>\n<p>The GDC campaign manager further said that he is disappointed in the executive committee of his party for not inviting him for questioning before releasing a press statement disassociating itself from a comment, he said he has never made.<\/p>\n<p>According to MC Cham, he will not interfere in foreign politics, something he has been advocating others not to involve in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who know me can attest to the fact that I have always been advocating for foreigners to stay away from Gambian politics, and this is on record in the media. Therefore, I will not interfere in foreign politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an invitation letter, MC Cham was invited to the fundraising party of Pastef, a Senegalese political party led by prominent opposition, Ousmane Sonko on Sunday at Sukuta, in the West Coast region.<\/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.
