United Democratic Party National Youth Wing Clarifies Misleading Media Reports
The United Democratic Party (UDP) National Youth Wing has observed recent reports circulating in certain media outlets, including Fatou Network, claiming that Mr. Kemo Bojang has resigned from his position as Secretary General of the UDP National Youth Wing.
We wish to clarify that this information is inaccurate. Mr. Kemo Bojang has not held the position of Secretary General of the UDP Youth Wing since the 2022 National Congress. The duly elected and serving Secretary General of the UDP National Youth Wing is Hon. Bubacarr M. Kanteh, who was elected at the 2022 UDP National Congress held in Jangjanbureh, Central River Region South. Hon. Kanteh has since carried out his duties with distinction, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the values and mission of our great party.
The UDP National Youth Wing remains steadfast in its allegiance to the party and its leadership under His Excellency Lawyer Ousainou Darboe. Our mission is clear, to champion the vision of a just, transparent, and accountable government dedicated to the wellbeing of all Gambians.
While the right of any individual to resign from a party or position is respected, we emphasize that unity, focus, and loyalty to the collective struggle remain paramount. We urge all militants and supporters to resist divisive narratives rooted in tribal politics, which only weaken our national fabric and distract from our common goals.
The UDP Youth Wing is not merely a political structure, it is a movement of young Gambians committed to building a brighter and more inclusive future. Guided by the principles of transparency, justice, and unity, we will continue to stand with our leader, H.E. Ousainou Darboe, to strengthen the UDP and deliver hope and progress for The Gambia.
Signed,
Hagi Suwaneh
President
UDP National Youth Wing
