The United Democratic Party (UDP) of The Gambia accuses President Adama Barrow of using his “Meet the People” tour as an illegal election campaign financed with public money. Lamin Manneh, the UDP’s deputy administrative secretary for external affairs, made the accusation during an interview with West Coast Radio, according to Kerr Fatou.
Lamin Manneh believes that the tour, presented as an exercise provided for by the Constitution, in reality serves the interests of the National People’s Party (NPP), the governing party, ahead of the 2026 presidential election. “It is an illegal campaign paid for with our taxes,” he said.
