He tasked the women\u2019s group to prioritise a united effort and mobilise support for the party from non-UDP militants, emphasising that every vote is important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou said the governance of this country will be shifted to better hands in 2026, but talking alone cannot do it. We must work hard for it with good and unified intentions,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if we are divided in our intentions, we can\u2019t get what we desire. Then let us unite. Let us not be deniers of our success. We must maintain strong cohesion with our party so that people who trust the party are not disappointed,\u201d Darboe added. He went on to task the Santa Yalla Kafoo to campaign from house to house and mobilise support for the party, especially from those who are yet to join them. \u201cEngage and remind them about the difficulties the country is currently enduring and bring them to the party,\u201d Darboe told the women in Farato.<\/p>\n<p>The UDP Secretary General also urged the women to ensure their eligible sons and daughters acquire voters\u2019 cards. \u201cThe President who was elected into office is vulnerable to a defeat from the ballot box,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He states that his advice to Gambians in 2021 against Barrow\u2019s re-election can now be clearly seen, as the country continues to struggle in key sectors of governance.<\/p>\n<p>The UDP leader further states that the larger share of the job to oust Barrow\u2019s administration lies with the women advising that they must take up the responsibility for a better Gambia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
