In what sources describe as a high-stakes political meeting, opposition leader Mama Kandeh held private talks with President Adama Barrow on Sunday 29th June 2025, reportedly accompanied by Minister Musa Drammeh.

According to insider accounts, Kandeh is said to have pressed for a Vice Presidential role within the Barrow-led administration. However, President Barrow, while open to future cooperation, reportedly stopped short of offering such a position—urging Kandeh instead to join forces and work together for broader political opportunities ahead.

As of now, no formal agreement has been reached. The outcome remains pending, with senior members of the Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) reportedly aware of the meeting but choosing to withhold action until Mama Kandeh makes a final decision.

The silence following the encounter has stirred speculation within GDC ranks, as party members now wait to determine the direction of their political future amid possible shifts in alliances.

🔍 BBC Gambia continues to monitor this story and will provide updates as more details emerge.

Ebrima Jarra has confirmed his dismissal from King FM and I understand Lamin Sanyang has not reported to work too (maybe in protest of Jarra's sacking), for me, this could signal the beginning of a decline for one of the most popular radio stations in The Gambia. I have been a fan of both Lamin Sanyang and Ebrima Jarra since their days at Paradise FM, and their contributions at King FM have significantly shaped the station’s success, attracting numerous sponsors with their compelling news coverage.

It’s unfortunate that whatever issues arose were not resolved at the management level, as the departure of these two key figures could lead to a downturn similar to that of other once-prominent radio stations. Without a doubt, Lamin Sanyang and Ebrima Jarra of King FM and Seedy Jobe of Senn FM are among the finest Mandinka news broadcasters in The Gambia. I urge the management to reconsider their decision before it’s too late.0

Shopkeepers Protest Against Street Vendors in Serekunda Market

Shopkeepers in Serekunda Market are staging a protest against street vendors conducting holiday sales—locally known as “Wanterr”—around the market area. They argue that these vendors block access to their shops, leading to a significant loss in sales, especially during the busy lead-up to Eid and other festive periods.

In response to the tensions, Sainey Sanyang, Commissioner of Operations at the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC), arrived at the scene with his team. They are currently instructing the Wanterr vendors to vacate the streets surrounding the market
