The PASTEF party in The Gambia has rejected the notion that the largest opposition party should automatically lead any future political coalition. Its Public Relations Officer, Mayorro Sidibeh, stated that a coalition centered on a single dominant party contradicts the necessary spirit of collaboration. He explained that the current simple-majority electoral system makes it unrealistic for any single group to unseat an incumbent without broad support.

Sidibeh emphasized that the contribution of all parties and independent voices, regardless of size, is essential for meaningful political change. He noted that in a fragmented political landscape, victory depends on collaboration rather than dominance. PASTEF instead proposed that a future coalition should rally behind an independent and unifying candidate chosen collectively. The party believes this structure would place the national interest above individual party ambitions and foster more inclusive governance.
