I was one of the founders of this noble party. When we parted ways, all needed to be very mindful of what to utter. Since I left the UDP for NPP, I was careful of my utterances not to hurt anyone. So, when I return today, I am back to my compound. By Allah\u2019s will, UDP will be going to the state house. Busumbala is a no-go area for NPP, I can vehemently repeat that over and over,\u201d Mr Fofana declared.<\/p>\n<p>Female Youth Coordinator of NPP, Busumbala, Tida Suwanehand Muktarr Conteh a supporter also declared their allegiance to the UDP with the conviction that the party is the only party to salvage the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realised that the right path is the UDP. I can assure you that after Ramadan, I will continue to mobilise many more women to join this noble party. I am 100% committed to the UDP henceforth,\u201d she promised<\/p>\n<p>The administrative secretary of the party, Honourable Alagie S. Darboe welcomed the new members assuring them how committed, decent and focused the party is in changing the political landscape of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the West Coast region, Buwa was one of the people who established NPP due to misunderstanding within UDP then. You are welcome back to your home. UDP is focused on national development, nothing more. I am putting to NPP that they can\u2019t stop UDP. Gambian are ready to salvage Gambia, not only UDP. There\u2019s no petty talk in UDP. There\u2019s no leadership crisis in UDP. We are the most organised political party in the Gambia,\u201d he Darboe affirmed.<\/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.
