Seedy Njie, former APRC National Assembly member and now a strong supporter of National People’s Party (NPP) said the just concluded by-election held in Niamina West and Kerr Jarga has proven that the United Democratic Party and Gambia Democratic Congress will die a natural death come 2021 presidential election.

“We are beginning to witness what could be the end to opposition in this country. I have no doubt that after the 2021 presidential election, political parties like the UDP and GDC will die a natural death. As we speak, they are moving towards the graveyard. It is all over,” Mr. Njie emphasised.

He made this statement after NPP vanquished a landmark victory in the by-election in both Niamina and Kerr Jarga. He asserted that nothing will stop Adama Barrow from winning the upcoming presidential election as evident in his recent victory

“We want to make it emphatically clear to every Gambian that 2021 has been clearly drawn and victory is certain for the NPP. Those who are sitting on the fence should join before it is too late. The GDC and UDP can continue bragging about their popularity,” he said.

Njie further stated that the Niamina by-election has proven that a UDP-GDC confederation will not yield a positive outcome “There will be no more serious opposition parties in this country after 2021. The likes of UDP and GDC have nothing to offer apart from the politics of insults and fear mongering,” he argued.
