The move underscores UNITE\u2019s strategic investment in reinforcing its structures at the local level. The handover ceremony brought together senior party executives, National Assembly representatives, regional chairpersons, and party members in the KMC region.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the presentation at the UNITE KMC Bureau in Fajara, UNITE President Talib Bensouda said the vehicles would facilitate outreach, bridge gaps, and ensure timely coordination. He highlighted the movement\u2019s rapid growth, noting that within its first year, UNITE has gained more recognition than political parties that have existed in The Gambia for two decades. \u201cEvery region, constituency, ward or village you point to today, people are aligning with UNITE. This is a success other parties with twenty years could not achieve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bensouda added that the distribution of pick-up trucks would continue, targeting additional key regions, and pledged further allocations to accelerate the movement\u2019s expansion and visibility.<\/p>\n<p>Ebrima Dibba, a diaspora representative for UNITE, described the distribution as both a celebration and a \u201ccall to action\u201d for party members. He urged members, particularly the youth, to engage actively in community outreach. \u201cI call on the youth of this movement. Let\u2019s tighten our belts and engage house to house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery of the new vehicles marks a pivotal step for UNITE, reinforcing its commitment to investing in the infrastructure of political engagement.<\/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.
