Jammeh has announced a general pardon for all individuals expelled from the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) under his directives. The decision, effective October 24, 2025, was delivered in an audio message addressed to APRC supporters.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Jammeh declared that all members previously removed from the party on his orders have been fully reinstated and forgiven.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this Friday, I have pardoned all those people who were expelled by me. By my instructions, they have all been forgiven. They are back in the APRC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jammeh clarified that the pardon applies only to those he personally expelled, not to individuals who voluntarily resigned from the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who resigned from the party\u2014I\u2019m not responsible. I didn\u2019t kick anybody out. But the door remains open for anyone who wishes to return,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The former president also used the occasion to caution party members against insults, false accusations, and internal divisions, describing such behavior as unacceptable and contrary to Islamic values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsulting each other in any form is unacceptable and un-Islamic. If I pardon somebody today and tomorrow you insult, you are going home permanently,\u201d Jammeh warned.<\/p>\n<p>He further emphasized that the party should no longer focus on positions but rather on grassroots mobilization and unity. \u201cAs from now, the party is not about positions. It is the number of people you can bring and mobilize that is what matters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Jammeh concluded by calling on APRC members at home and abroad to reconcile and work together as one united family to strengthen the party\u2019s foundation. \u201cI want to make sure that we reconcile as a family. Make it known to everybody both at home and in the diaspora,\u201d he said.<\/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.
