Rumors of Possible UDP - APRC Coalition Stir Political Debate

Rumors of a potential coalition between the United Democratic Party (UDP) and former President Yahya Jammeh’s APRC No To Alliance have generated discussion online in The Gambia, although no official statements have been made by either party.

The speculation follows comments by Lamin Tamba, a former communications team member of APRC, who opionated on social media that collaboration between UDP and APRC could help end historical political rivalries and promote national unity.

While Jammeh remains in exile and has made no public comment, UDP leader Ousainou Darboe recently met with APRC No To Alliance members at a nomination event at Sibanor. The faction has not issued any statements regarding coalition plans.

Observers note that a potential UDP - APRC collaboration would be unprecedented, given the 22-year history of rivalry between the two parties during Jammeh’s rule, including past political conflicts that resulted in casualties.

At present, the matter remains speculative, and both parties have yet to confirm any formal negotiations or agreements.

Wally Seck Calls for Support of Gambian Artists, Endorses Attack’s Album Launch

Senegalese music star Wally Seck has urged Gambians to support local artists while endorsing rapper Attack, who is set to launch his Borom Deka B album on December 30 at the GCCI Grounds.

Wally made the call at the QCity Grounds after a joint performance with the Game Over hitmaker, addressing thousands of fans and encouraging them to back Gambian musicians by attending Attack’s album launch.

The Senegalese superstar noted that The Gambia has a wealth of "excellent" musical talent that deserves stronger public support.

Wally Seck and Attack have maintained a professional relationship since 2024, when Attack was invited to perform alongside the Senegalese singer in The Gambia. The performance drew public attention after Attack made a highly visible on-stage gesture that sparked debate among fans.

In later interviews, Attack clarified that the moment was strategic, explaining that he sought Wally Seck’s support as part of his effort to pe*****te the Senegalese music market, similar to how Wally successfully expanded his influence into The Gambia.

The endorsement is expected to boost interest in Attack’s forthcoming album launch, which has attracted attention from both local and regional audiences.

GPF CLARIFIES CLAIMS ON “NORMALISED” VIOLENT DEATHS IN THE GAMBIA

The Gambia Police Force has noted a statement attributed to Hon. Modou Lamin B. Bah, National Assembly Member for Banjul North, and reported by The Fatu Network, suggesting that violent deaths in the country have become “normalised” and occur without follow-up or accountability. The GPF wishes to state that this claim is misleading and does not reflect investigative realities, judicial processes, or institutional response mechanisms currently in place.

While it is true that isolated violent incidents have occurred in some communities at different times, they are neither routine, widespread, nor treated with silence. In circumstances where the Police could not prevent the incidents, they succeeded in detecting almost all of the referenced cases, after which appropriate investigative and judicial procedures were undertaken within the confines of the law.

For instance, in the case of the late Saikou Freeman, the primary suspect was arrested, charged, taken to court, and remanded at Mile II pending legal advice. In the most recent incident involving Isatou Fatty, investigations remain active with leads being pursued by the Brusubi CID. The referenced case of Fatoumatta Kargbo has also progressed through the judicial system; the accused was arrested, charged, and is currently remanded by order of the High Court, where the trial is nearing conclusion as the prosecution seeks a conviction. Likewise, the investigation into the death of Kebba Secka was completed within a week, the culprit was apprehended, arraigned before the court, and processed in accordance with the law.

These examples, among others, demonstrate that violent crime is neither ignored nor allowed to “fade without consequence,” and contradict the narrative that cases proceed without follow-up or justice. All loss of life is deeply regretted, however, national crime statistics do not support claims of a normalised pattern or systemic failure comparable to jurisdictions within the sub-region.

The suggestion that violent deaths routinely occur without police action is therefore inaccurate and risks undermining public confidence in ongoing investigations and judicial processes. The Gambia Police Force remains committed to timely investigations, accountability before the law, transparency with affected families, and all stakeholders and partners in the criminal justice sector.

The GPF encourages responsible public commentary and constructive engagement as collective efforts continue to maintain public safety, strengthen the rule of law, and ensure that justice is served.

The Faculty of Law, equipped with a modern moot court, will enhance legal training, reinforcing justice, the rule of law, and human rights in the country.

Additionally, President Barrow laid the foundation stone for Lot 3 which includes the School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences. It will feature world-class facilities for Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Pharmacy, and Biomedical Sciences, supported by sixteen state-of-the-art laboratories and a teaching clinic.

Delivering his statement, President Barrow said “for decades, Gambians dreamt of a national university campus equipped with the facilities needed to advance higher learning and training endeavours. That dream is becoming a reality here in Faraba Banta, as our goal is that the UTG becomes a world-class citadel of learning.”

This development is part of the government's efforts to enhance tertiary education. The UTG Faraba campus expansion project is funded by The Gambia Government in collaboration with BADEA and the Islamic Development Bank, aiming to increase the university's capacity and produce highly skilled practitioners.
