During an interview with AG Radio, Mr. Lamin Manneh, the deputy secretary for external affairs and diaspora for the United Democratic Party, detailed how a number of very influential members of the ruling party of the national People’s Party (NPP) gathered at Massembeh in the hope of influencing the outcome of the by-elections in favour of their party. However, their efforts were a failure. Change is the only thing that the people living in Massembeh are looking forward to because they have had enough of the failed policies of the NPP.
Mr. Lamin Manneh believes that the defeat of the National People’s Party (NPP) in Massembeh is a sign of what will happen to the NPP in the presidential elections that will take place in 2026. In the same way that NPP was defeated in the mayoral elections a few years ago and now in Massembeh, the National People’s Party (NPP) will be defeated regardless of whether or not President Barrow is participating in the elections.
When it comes to the elections that will take place in 2026, Mr. Manneh is absolutely certain that President Barrow will be defeated. His statement makes it abundantly clear that the United Democratic Party (UDP)Â is more than ready to ensure that the events that transpired during the elections in 2021 will never, ever occur again. It was stated by Mr. Manneh that they rigged the elections in 2021, despite the fact that the NPP was defeated, and that we will defeat them once more in the elections of 2026.
