People wonder if PDOIS leader Halifa Sallah might come back as a candidate. His party friend Sidia Jatta hinted he could return if many voters asked him. Sallah told Star FM that this question misses the point because he cares more about changing how politics works than personal goals. He faced death threats during the 2016 crisis but stayed to protect The Gambia from harm.
The veteran politician received 32,000 votes last time, which he sees as a clear message not to run again. Sallah wants to help anyone whose plans match his vision for the country. He believes supporters should back whoever he recommends rather than insist he must be the candidate. Sallah refuses to work with people who just want power positions. He made his choice against running for office after careful thought.
