Kandeh highlighted the coalition government\u2019s 2016 promise to rule for only 3 years, yet they remain in power and plan to contest for a third term, which he deemed selfish. He criticised the government\u2019s debt accumulation, comparing it unfavorably to previous administrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Gambian has the right to choose a political party that can bring change, but let them choose wisely,\u201d Kandeh emphasised. He advocated for a \u201cministry of youth and development,\u201d stressing the need for youth empowerment and development centers.<\/p>\n

Kandeh promised to create opportunities for youth and women, focusing on national development if elected. He urged Gambians to take this year\u2019s elections seriously, choosing a leader who will drive positive change, and positioned GDC as the solution.<\/p>\n
