Please for immediate release:

Flagbearer

The senior administrative secretary honourable Alhagie S Darboe seriously advised all members of the UDP, especially the executive members, to completely desist from talking about the flag bearer issue in any form either in audio or Facebook or Tiktok.

All audios related to the flagbearership issue in all affiliated UDP forums should be deleted forthwith by the group admins and those who are associated with the position should not entertain it, as it will only divide us rather than unite us. The party doesn’t have the issue of a flagbearer in their activity plan as the flagbearer will be selected in 2026.

We should all focus on 2026 and not entertain the discussion of flagbearers in our forums and platforms. The UDP flagbearer position should not be attached to any individual from the party leader to the last member until 2026, when it will be open to all members who wish to apply.

In line with the Party’s constitution, the position of flagbearer is not granted to anyone automatically.

We, therefore, call on all operators in UDP media platforms to heed this clarion call and devote our energies entirely to campaigning for UDP to win the polls in 2026.
