Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 23860, member: 2262"] Gambian President Adama Barrow declined to clarify his stance on seeking a third term during an exclusive interview with Star FM's Alpha Karaga. The interview, set to air at 9 pm, features Barrow responding to questions on his political future with measured ambiguity. When asked about calls from National People's Party supporters urging another term, Barrow laughed and expressed gratitude. "I thank them for the honor," he said. Pressed further, the president remarked, "A long silence is a response. Even though I have the decision to make, it is gratifying that people have their wishes." Addressing foreign relations, Barrow shared recent discussions with Senegal's new president, Basiru Diomaye Faye. He cited Faye's commitment to strengthen ties between the neighboring countries. "Your immediate neighbor is your strongest partner," Barrow stated, highlighting improved diplomatic standing since 2017. "President Diomaye Faye has assured me I am his brother. He plans to enhance our relationship," Barrow said. He pointed to broader international gains, noting The Gambia's renewed global recognition. The president outlined his administration's achievements in infrastructure and education. These include expanding bus services, upgrading educational institutions to university status, developing road networks, extending rural electricity access, and building health centers across the country. Barrow called on NPP supporters to maintain party unity and continue promoting their platform. The interview marks a significant moment in Gambian politics as speculation grows about the president's plans. [/QUOTE]
