Gambian former vice president and senior member of the People’s Progressive Party, Bakary Bunja Dabo, has declared his intention to form a new political party, Gambia for All Party (GFAP).

On Saturday, officials of GFAP brought together about 200 delegates at Friendship Hotel, Independence Stadium to complete what is described to be the final work for the establishment of Gambia for All Party (GFAP).

Meanwhile, Bolong Sonko, senior member of the PPP and now a member of the new party said they are yet to register with the Independent Electoral Commission, revealing that, “the party is also in the process of identifying its colour, symbol and drafts its constitution.”

Dabo told the party delegates that Gambia currently needs a party that will unify her people.

“Given everything happening in our current political discourse, there could not have been a better time to have a party like this,” said Dabo in an address to delegates.

“Let’s leave this place with renewed dedication and loyalty to the Gambia… This is a fight for a better Gambia.”

Dabo, the possible leader of the new party, contested for the leadership of the PPP with Papa Njie but he lost by a 45-vote margin.

Dissatisfied with the results, oDabo challenged the validity and constitutionality of the congress that elected Njie as the leader of PPP in court.

The case that seeks to annul the last PPP congress is already at the Banjul Magistrate Court. The successful establishment of the new party will automatically nullify the essence of the court case challenging Njie’s leadership of PPP.
