A Giant of Leadership: Hon. Maimuna Ceesay Darboe and the Historic Triumph of the NPP Diaspora

The story of progress and resilience within the National People’s Party (NPP) continues to be written in golden letters — and one of its most luminous chapters was inked on the 4th of October 2025 in Banyoles, Spain. Under the sterling leadership of Hon. Maimuna Ceesay Darboe, the NPP Diaspora Secretary and a nominated Member of the Gambian Parliament, the NPP Diaspora members achieved an extraordinary milestone by raising an astounding €285,800 in their first-ever Diaspora Fundraising Event.

This was not merely a fundraising success — it was a statement of unity, patriotism, and unwavering commitment to national development. It was the clearest testament yet that the NPP, under the visionary guidance of President Adama Barrow, commands genuine loyalty and support far beyond the shores of The Gambia.

Hon. Maimuna Ceesay Darboe stands as a towering symbol of dedication, discipline, and transformative leadership. Her organizational prowess and passion for service continue to inspire both men and women within and beyond the party. As a leader of exceptional calibre, she has redefined what it means to be a Diaspora representative — turning vision into action, and action into impact.

Supported by the First and Second Vice Presidents of the NPP, Hon. Demba Sabally and Hon. Abdoulie Suku Singhateh, this historic initiative shattered long-standing narratives. For years, the opposition UDP claimed dominance over the Gambian Diaspora community. But this resounding success by the NPP has dispelled that illusion once and for all — proving that the heart of the Gambian Diaspora beats in harmony with the NPP’s mission of national unity, progress, and prosperity.

This event was more than a fundraiser; it was a demonstration of faith — faith in leadership, in the party’s vision, and in The Gambia’s brighter future. Under Hon. Maimuna Ceesay Darboe’s stewardship, the NPP Diaspora has shown that where there is purpose and integrity, there is always success.

Indeed, Hon. Maimuna Ceesay Darboe has cemented her place as one of the giants of Gambian politics, a woman whose leadership continues to inspire generations and strengthen the foundation of the National People’s Party at home and abroad. Her triumph in Bayoles is not just a victory for the NPP — it is a victory for all Gambians who believe in progress, peace, and collective prosperity.
