PAP is one of 22 registered parties contesting the December 2026 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of Tujereng\u2019s women, Fatou Sonko Nuim Kafo said their backing of Manneh stems from the daily struggle\u2019s women face. \u201cGambian women wake up as early as 4 a.m., working in markets, garages, and small businesses just to provide for their families,\u201d she said. \u201cWe never followed politics, but when Ebrima Tabora Manneh joined, we saw real intention and purpose. The country is difficult, and we need someone willing to rescue us. Let\u2019s vote for him for better change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the crowd, Mr. Manneh highlighted nationwide challenges, including hunger, unemployment, rising living costs, and youth frustrations. He emphasized that his approach to politics is solution-driven, not confrontational.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t waste time insulting or arguing with people. In our party, we maintain peace. We don\u2019t attack anyone. Everything we do is with truth and respect. Gambians have minds, and they will decide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also drew attention to pressing social issues, including school dropouts, unemployment, drug abuse among youth, and increased migration attempts. \u201cThese conditions reflect deep national hardship and require urgent leadership and commitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Manneh pledged that, if elected, his administration would establish a fair and equitable system for all Gambians, emphasizing peace, dignity, and cultural pride. \u201cI want to sign a contract with Gambians. We have signed our part; now it is up to Gambians to sign theirs. If you put this country in my hands, every Gambian will be proud to be called a Gambian,\u201d he told supporters.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by urging citizens to believe in themselves, embrace their culture, and work together to restore the nation\u2019s dignity.<\/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.
