In a significant move toward restoring unity within its ranks, the APRC No Alliance to NPP has successfully initiated peace talks to reconcile divisions among its members. The talks, held yesterday in Kanilai, Foni, marked a crucial step in healing the rifts within the party, particularly within the executive led by Honourable Yaya Tamba.
The divisions within the APRC had caused concern among the party’s leadership and general membership. However, Friday, August 9, 2024, will be remembered as a day of reconciliation, as aggrieved parties came together to address their differences. The party expressed satisfaction with the progress made during these peace talks, emphasizing that this is just the beginning of their efforts to strengthen internal unity.
The APRC leadership underscored the importance of opposition unity as a critical factor in their strategy to unseat President Adama Barrow in the 2026 elections. They believe that if the APRC can successfully unite its members, it will have a significant impact on the political landscape of The Gambia.
In a rallying call to former members who left the party for the National People’s Party (NPP) in recent years, the APRC extended an invitation for their return. The leadership stressed that now is the time for those members to rejoin the APRC, reaffirming their stance that Barrow and the NPP are not the solution to The Gambia’s challenges.
The APRC No Alliance to NPP remains confident that a unified party is the key to solving the problems facing The Gambia, positioning themselves as a vital force in the country’s political future.
