People from Lower River Back Ruling Party.
People who left Gambia's Lower River Region want to help the ruling party win more votes. They formed a new group to support President Barrow's National People's Party.
The group chose Yaya Dampha from Sweden to lead Europe's work. Bakary Jarju will run things in America. Both men come from the river area.
"We will work with people back home to change how they vote," Dampha said. He thinks President Barrow can win big in places that used to vote against him.
Strong members joined the cause, including Ebrima Sanneh, Jarra Fatty, Menata Njie, and other local leaders. They want to turn their home area toward Barrow's party.
The group says Barrow brought good things to their area. Houses have power that stays on. Roads improved. Clean water flows to more homes. This happened in just eight years.
"People want growth," Dampha said. "When we tell them what Barrow did, they will support him." He believes the river towns will stand with the president.
Fabou Sanneh spoke against other parties. "They misled our people for years," he said. "We must show them the truth about what Barrow built."
The new group plans to reach every town along the river. They want to prove their area can help keep Barrow in power.
