The National People's Party nominated Barthalomeh Bolo Colley for the upcoming Half-Die ward by-election. The People's Progressive Party selected Salieu Jallow as its candidate. The Independent Electoral Commission announced campaigning begins Monday and runs through April 24, with voting scheduled for April 26.
The United Democratic Party decided not to enter a candidate in this race. A UDP official told The Standard newspaper they want to build solidarity among opposition groups before the 2026 elections. An NPP representative claimed the UDP feared losing a direct contest against them. The People's Alliance Party withdrew its candidate to support the PPP instead.
