He told the media that he was ready to solve this when elected into office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am confident that I will win this election. Because even my opponents are coming to beg me to withdraw from the election. But I will never withdraw from the election, because I am not a youth who will withdraw. The candidate from the APRC coalition came to beg me. The Independent candidate also came for me to withdraw. But I am not the person who will withdraw from this election. Even if you look at me, I am a tiger. I don\u2019t run backward, I only go forward,\u201d He said<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sanneh further called for the increment of allowance for councilors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery councilor, if they give you Allowance, come out to the media and tell your people that you have received their money. People will call and give you ideas. Because one idea Is not always enough because you are elected by the people,\u201d Mr. Sanneh added.<\/p>\n<p>Sainabou Colley, the aspiring Candidate for Fajikunda Ward said if elected she will empower the youth and women of her Ward. She said it is the people of her Ward who are urging her to contest the election.<\/p>\n<p>Omar Colley, the aspiring Candidate for Abuko ward, said his slogan is \u201cact act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the people of Abuko said they need actions, and actions cannot just be lip service words. Looking at Abuko Ward, normally we should not rely on the government. Because of what we have, most of these wards are not having income-earning activities. Abuko, we don\u2019t have that transparent leadership. We haven\u2019t had domestic accountability, we haven\u2019t had where in youth and women are empowered. So I will say basically these are the things that I will look into,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the APRC No to Alliance Movement, they will be nominating nine more independent candidates in the Kanifing Municipality tomorrow.<\/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.
