The Secretary General and Party Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP), President Adama Barrow, will tomorrow, Tuesday, 10 November 2026, be accompanied by more than 100,000 members and supporters of the NPP-led Grand Coalition for his nomination at the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) Headquarters along the Bertil Harding Highway. The nomination is scheduled for 10:00 a.m.The occasion is expected to attract an unprecedented gathering of NPP members, allied parties, supporters and sympathisers from across length and breadth of the country, in what is anticipated to be one of the largest displays of political mobilisation and public participation ever seen in The Gambia’s political history.The NPP has announced that supporters will converge at Sting Corner along the Banjul–Jeshwang Highway from 8:30 a.m., before accompanying President Barrow to the IEC Headquarters for the submission of his nomination papers.Following the nomination, the NPP-led Grand Coalition will proceed on a motorcade through Kairaba Avenue, Westfield, Serrekunda and Bundung, before culminating at the Buffer Zone, where a major women’s political rally is scheduled to take place. The rally is expected to attract a massive turnout of women from across the country, further demonstrating their growing participation and influence in the country’s political process.President Barrow’s nomination comes against the backdrop of what the NPP and its allied parties describe as five years of significant transformation and development across the country. Under his leadership, The Gambia has witnessed considerable investments in infrastructure, economic development, social services and human development.President Barrow has consistently maintained that infrastructure is the foundation of sustained economic growth, national development, peace and stability. This vision was central to the NPP-led coalition’s 2021 presidential campaign, which placed considerable emphasis on expanding the national road network, extending electricity coverage to rural communities, improving access to clean water, constructing additional classrooms and strengthening public institutions.These commitments reflected a broader development agenda aimed at improving living standards, expanding opportunities, safeguarding citizens’ liberties and enhancing institutional efficiency, accountability and prudent management of public resources.The NPP maintains that significant progress has been made in delivering on these commitments, pointing to the administration’s development record as evidence of its determination to translate campaign promises into tangible outcomes for the Gambian people.According to political analysts and findings from recent surveys, both national and internationally recognised institutions have projected a decisive electoral outcome in the December 5, 2026 Presidential Election. The NPP views these projections as a reflection of the political momentum surrounding President Barrow and the growing confidence expressed in his leadership. The Party, however, maintains that the ultimate verdict rests with the Gambian electorate on election day.Tomorrow’s nomination is therefore expected to be more than a formal electoral process. For the NPP-led Grand Coalition, it will be an opportunity to demonstrate its political strength, consolidate its support base and reaffirm its confidence in President Barrow’s leadership as the country approaches the December 5 presidential election.
