Politicians are always begging for fair elections while trashing the other side. Mama Kandeh, who leads the Gambia Democratic Congress, called on the Independent Electoral Commission to stay totally neutral during the upcoming vote. He told a crowd in Manjai that citizens should judge leaders by their actual results, not their campaign promises.
Kandeh slammed what he called the mismanagement of national assets and soaring government debt. He argued loans taken in recent years dwarf those from previous combined administrations, leaving a burden for future generations. He pointed to infrastructure like the ports and the Senegambia Bridge as examples of poor governance.
The GDC leader warned voters to examine political track records closely. He stated that changing term limits or breaking pledges should have consequences at the ballot box. Providing roads, hospitals, and basic services is a government duty, not an opposition responsibility, he emphasized.
Kandeh framed the election as a choice between a service-oriented leader and a self-serving government. He urged support for his party, describing the GDC as committed to accountability and real action over empty words. The electoral process itself must be transparent and credible for any meaningful change to occur, he concluded.
