Tabax Reewmi, UNITE to Formalize Political Alliance Ahead of December Election

By Staff Writer

Tabax Reewmi and the Unite for National Integrity, Transformation and Equality (UNITE) are set to formalize a political alliance on Saturday, November 14, as opposition groups intensify efforts to consolidate support ahead of The Gambia’s December 5 presidential election.

According to an announcement by the parties, the official signing ceremony will take place at UNITE’s headquarters in Fajara at 2 p.m.

The planned alliance comes amid growing efforts by political parties and movements to forge partnerships and strengthen their electoral prospects as the country enters the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

UNITE, led by presidential candidate Talib Ahmed Bensouda, is among the political forces seeking to unseat President Adama Barrow, who is running for another term in office.

The agreement with Tabax Reewmi represents another step in UNITE’s coalition-building efforts as opposition groups seek to broaden their political base and mobilize support ahead of the polls.

The announcement did not disclose the terms of the proposed alliance or the specific commitments of the two political movements. Further details are expected to emerge during Saturday’s signing ceremony.
