Essa Faal Leaves Door Open to Possible NPP Alliance

The leader of the APP-Sobeya, Essa Mbaye Faal, has declined to rule out the possibility of joining the ruling National People’s Party (NPP), amid growing speculation linking him to the party.

Speaking on Coffee Time with Peter Gomez, Faal said he was not in a position to comment on whether he would join the NPP, but acknowledged that the possibility could not be dismissed.

“I cannot talk about joining NPP right now. All I am saying is that I cannot rule out any possibility,” Faal said.

Asked directly whether joining the NPP remained a possibility, Faal responded that it could be considered, but said his focus was currently on what he described as important issues before the country.

“You can call it a possibility, but we have important issues at hand at this point. And this is the reason Gambians are supporting us,” he said.

Faal’s remarks leave open the question of whether APP-Sobeya could enter into an alliance or political arrangement with the NPP ahead of the 2026 presidential election.
