Tamsir Jassey a security expert turned politician , who was one time identified by the Gambia Action Party (GAP) as their flag bearer has recently cut ties between him and his former Party(GAP) which resulted in him announcing his intention to contest as an independent presidential candidate for the December 4th presidential pools.

According to honourable pa Jatta a senior executive member in Jasseh’s camp  revealed that, they have recently embarked on familiarisation tour to the regions with the aims of  exposing the intelligence of their candidate to the electorates as well as revealing their party policies  and programmes .He added that,  they have visited good chunk of the communities  in the country both in the urban and rural communities  where they distributed cookings utensils to the  various communities.

The distributed items include   cooking pots, dozens of plastic chairs and other invaluable items . He stated that the communities visited by the entourage include Sinchu Madado in CRR, Kauntaur In CRR, Jarra Soma in LRR, Boi Ram in CRR among other communities.

It would be recalled that, Tamsir was the only hope for GAP to use as their presidential candidate but the  relationship with his former boss became blunt and he later left the party to stand as an independent candidate in the forthcoming December presidential contest , Jassey left GAP along side very prominent members of the GAP executives which to analysis has shaken the party in terms of stronghold.
