We need mature, inclusive leadership to heal divisions, fight corruption, and deliver the reforms our people desperately need. No one embodies this vision more than Ousainu Darboe,\u201d He Said.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing recent resignations from the party, SaidyKhan reaffirmed that the UDP remains united and strong despite the departures, stressing that the party\u2019s doors remain open to all who have left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have witnessed recent departures from our party. We regret their decision, but we respect their choice. We thank them for their contributions and wish them well. Our doors will always remain open to them because UDP is a family,\u201d He Said.<\/p>\n<p>He further urged members not to be swayed by \u201cfalse promises or short-term gains,\u201d reminding them that the UDP\u2019s strength lies in the sacrifices and contributions of ordinary Gambians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us not be distracted by false promises or short-term gains. The UDP is built on the sacrifices of ordinary Gambians, farmers, traders, and workers, whose small contributions sustain our great movement. This spirit is our identity,\u201d He Said.<\/p>\n<p>He further states that, the energy and enthusiasm from the grassroots remains overwhelming saying that the UDP is ready to face the 2026 presidential elections with confidence and unity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo our loyal members and steadfast supporters, I say this with confidence: the UDP is OK, and our leader Baba is OK. The energy and enthusiasm from the grassroots at home is overwhelming, and on October 25th, Gambians will once again demonstrate that the UDP is the largest and strongest political party in the country,\u201d He Said.<\/p>\n<p>SaidyKhan expressed optimism about the party\u2019s readiness for the 2026 presidential election, noting that the enthusiasm from the grassroots remains strong.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by urging all Gambians, regardless of political affiliation, to work together for the nation\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo tonight, I call not only on UDP members, but on all Gambians, at home and abroad. You may not share our political affiliation, but we all share the same love for The Gambia. Let us unite around that love. Let us unite around the fight against corruption, injustice, and bad governance. Our country is bigger than our differences,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>The UDP Diaspora Chairman also extended his gratitude to all UDP chapters abroad for organizing a successful fundraising event and for their support throughout the party leader\u2019s European tour.<\/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.
