Addressing a crowd of Gambian women ahead of the 2026 presidential election, former Vice President Fatoumatta Tambajang delivered a powerful message. She urged women to break away from their traditional role as passive supporters and become leaders in politics. Highlighting a concerning trend, Tambajang emphasized that women often attend political events simply to clap and dance, instead of taking on meaningful leadership roles.
In a strong call to action, Tambajang stated that it is time for women to stop clapping and start leading. She urged them to step into decision-making spaces and use their influence to shape national policies. Tambajang firmly believes that active political participation is not only crucial for personal empowerment, but also essential for creating a more inclusive and fair governance system in The Gambia.
Her words also underscored her own ambition to run for the presidency, while simultaneously challenging women across the country to rethink their role in politics. No longer content to cheer from the sidelines, Tambajang called for women to lead at the forefront of political change.
In a passionate finale, Tambajang reiterated her plea for a new generation of female leaders, stressing that true change can only occur when women are not just observers, but architects of their own future. With her powerful message, Tambajang has set the stage for a new era of female leadership in The Gambia.
