Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Hon. Abdoulie Ceesay, Deputy Majority Leader of Gambian Parliament has been elected to the Executive Committee of Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA).<\/b><\/p>\n

Hon. Ceesay\u2019s term runs from 2026\u20132027 in what is being viewed as a notable boost to the country\u2019s parliamentary diplomacy and international profile.<\/p>\n

His election took place during the 46th Annual Forum and 4th CAP-Oceans meeting of PGA held in Mexico City, which brought together lawmakers from 18 countries to discuss global priorities including democracy, human rights, and international cooperation.<\/p>\n

Ceesay now joins a diverse Executive Committee made up of parliamentarians from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, tasked with guiding the organisation\u2019s global legislative agenda.<\/p>\n

The Committee is chaired by Syed Naveed Qamar, who was re-elected as President, alongside other members responsible for steering PGA\u2019s strategic direction.<\/p>\n

PGA Secretary-General Mo\u0301nica Adame described the newly elected leadership as a broad, cross-party team that reflects the organisation\u2019s global reach and its commitment to promoting democratic values and cooperation among parliaments.<\/p>\n

For The Gambia, Ceesay\u2019s election is expected to deepen the National Assembly\u2019s engagement with international parliamentary networks, while also creating opportunities for knowledge exchange and the strengthening of legislative practices.<\/p>\n

The Executive Committee plays a key role in shaping PGA\u2019s priorities at a time when global cooperation and democratic resilience continue to be central to international governance discussions.<\/p>\n

Ceesay\u2019s appointment is widely seen as recognition of The Gambia\u2019s growing participation in global parliamentary affairs and its efforts to contribute to international dialogue on governance and development.<\/p>\n
