Condemnation of UDP’s Irresponsible Statement
On August 20, 2026, the United Democratic Party (UDP), through Mr. Manneh, irresponsibly declared its intention to announce results of the December 2026 presidential election before the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). This statement is deeply troubling and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
The IEC is the only constitutionally mandated body with the legal authority to declare election results in The Gambia. Any attempt by a political party to preempt this process undermines the credibility of our democratic institutions and threatens the peace and stability of the nation. Announcing parallel results is not only unconstitutional but also dangerous, as it can mislead the public, incite political unrest, and erode trust in the electoral system.
The implications of such a reckless pronouncement are grave. It jeopardizes electoral integrity by creating confusion and delegitimizing the official process. It threatens public order by opening the door to violence and misinformation. Most importantly, it violates the rule of law, which is the cornerstone of our democracy.
As Secretary General and Party Leader of the Gambia Action Party, I call upon the Police, the National Human Rights Commission, and all international organizations monitoring the electoral process to take immediate note of this statement and ensure that no political party is allowed to destabilize our democracy.
The Gambia Action Party stands firm in its commitment to peace, transparency, and the rule of law. We urge all Gambians to remain vigilant and reject any attempt to hijack the electoral process.
