The National People’s Party (NPP) has recorded significant victories in the recently concluded by-elections in Kiang Kaiaf and Foni Bantanjang Wards, further consolidating the party’s growing grassroots strength across the country.

In Kiang Kaiaf Ward, NPP candidate Omar Touray defeated the United Democratic Party (UDP) candidate Sulayman Sanneh after securing 1,127 votes against UDP’s 895, winning by a margin of 232 votes. Meanwhile, in Foni Bantanjang Ward, NPP’s Abdoulie Badjie emerged victorious in a closely contested race with 402 votes, narrowly edging out APRC No to Alliance candidate Bakary M. Manga, who polled 401 votes. Independent candidate Alhagie Njie secured 155 votes.

Reacting to the outcome, the NPP Diaspora Coordinator and Head of Media, Mr. Yaya Dampha, has extended warm congratulations to His Excellency President Adama Barrow and the entire NPP leadership for what he described as “well-deserved and meaningful victories.”

According to Mr. Dampha, the twin wins are a clear demonstration of President Barrow’s development-oriented leadership and the positive impact of government projects on the lives of ordinary Gambians.

“These victories reflect the confidence Gambians continue to place in President Adama Barrow and the National People’s Party. They are a direct endorsement of the government’s development agenda and its visible impact at community level,” he said.

Mr. Dampha further noted that the by-election results send a strong political message ahead of the 2026 presidential election, stressing that the NPP remains firmly rooted at the grassroots and increasingly popular nationwide.

“The outcome of these elections serves as a clear signal to opposition parties that the NPP, under the leadership of President Barrow, is well-positioned for an outright victory in the December 2026 presidential election,” he added.

He concluded by wishing President Barrow continued success and strength as he leads the country, while reaffirming the commitment of the NPP Diaspora to support the party’s vision for peace, stability, and national development.

The victories in Kiang Kaiaf and Foni Bantanjang further strengthen the NPP’s growing political influence and underline its expanding support base across The Gambia.
