This is a call for action, and I\u2019m happy that people are responding,\u201d Bensouda said.<\/p>\n<p>He described the movement as people-led and will soon be transformed into a truly inclusive political party.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Unite Movement for Change has established various committees to oversee its affairs. The Secretariat and Administrative Committee, Communication Committee, National Mobilisation Drive Committee, Fundraising Committee, and Constitutional Building Committee were all announced at the gathering.<\/p>\n<p>Among the speakers is UDP\u2019s long-term loyalist Ebrima Dibba, who urges citizens to rally their support behind the Unite Movement for Change for the realisation of a change that Gambians yearn to achieve, adding that he never thought of turning his back on UDP.
