The debate was highly contested between Yakumba Jaiteh of the UDP always the first speaker and Fatou Jallow of the APRC also the last speaker in contest.
In her presentation Yakumba Jaiteh of the UDP stated that her party has the highest capacity of personnel and UDP government will rely on agriculture for prime investment. She endorsed her party in the three point’s debate indirectly by using the platform to calls on Gambians to vote for UDP in December.
Fatou Jallow, of the APRC defended her party, saying that the government that ruled the country for 22 years give Gambians all they needed, namely University, TV, good roads, electricity and water, women and youth empowerment.
“First, The Gambia was not known, many consider the Zambia for Gambia, but when the AFPRC/APRC came to power the country got recognition and was recognized worldwide. The APRC government builds schools, provided free education up to university level and sends Gambians abroad for studies. We have done for 22 years, and if we come back we will do more,” told a debate moderated by Harona Drammeh.
