Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) and the Gambia Action Party (GAP) have no aspiring councilors in the Kanifing Municipality (KM) for the 2023 Local Government Elections.<\/b><\/p>\n

The IEC scheduled Friday for candidates of the GDC and GAP to file their credentials across IEC offices in the country. For the Kanifing Municipality (KM) both parties failed to nominate any aspiring candidates for the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

This medium reached out to the GDC\u2019s Public Relations Officer, Ablie Jallow, who confirmed to our reporter that his party does not have any aspiring councilor candidates in the Kanifing Municipality (KM). Mr. Jallow said they open applications across the country, but nobody applied in KM.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know it\u2019s a process, you open applications for people to apply if nobody applied it brings issues like this. You know you cannot force anyone to contest if they don\u2019t want to contest,\u201d he saidMr. Jallow told that his Party has 36 candidates across the country, that the Kanifing Municipality is the exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe opened applications across the country. In all the regions in the country but by the time we open applications in Kanifing Municipality, we didn\u2019t have any applicants, that is why we don\u2019t have candidates in KM,\u201d GDC PRO told.<\/p>\n

The Gambia Action Party\u2019s Public Relations Office, Babucarr Bajo, also confirmed that his party did not put up any Candidate in Kanifing Municipality.<\/p>\n

The Gambia for All and Gambia Moral Congress are expected to file their nomination papers across IEC Offices in the country tomorrow.<\/p>\n
