Councillor Bubacarr Kanteh of Kartong Ward is urging UDP members to stay loyal after a recent national tour. He specifically called for trust in party leader Ousainou Darboe, highlighting Darboe's dedication to service and accountability.
Kanteh warned that political betrayal by former members damages democracy and public faith. He pointed to the defeat of five out of seven UDP defectors in the last parliamentary elections as proof that voters reject such shifts.
The councillor also addressed local officials currently distancing themselves from the party, noting their actions have consequences. He advocated for peaceful engagement and rejected claims that the UDP excludes people, citing its long history of promoting youth leadership.
Kanteh thanked party supporters and financiers for their work during the eleven-day nationwide tour. He concluded by urging the UDP leadership and its base to maintain unity, demand transparency, and uphold democratic principles through lawful action.
