The National People's Party (NPP) Banjul Branch firmly and unequivocally rejects the recent tribalism accusations being pushed into the public sphere through a manipulated audio clip now circulating on social media. The content of the audio is vile, yes, but make no mistake—it is 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝.

This is the playbook of a desperate opposition, not just one party, but a broad coalition of those who fear the NPP’s growing strength in Banjul, especially in Half-Die Ward, where our candidate, Barthalomeh Colley [BOLO], is rapidly becoming the people’s choice.

The woman’s voice in the viral audio is unknown to our structures, and her remarks have no connection to the NPP’s values or leadership. We put this open challenge to the opposition and their agents:

Name her. Show her membership. Prove she is NPP. Or admit to orchestrating a cheap smear.

This is not just about defending our party—it’s about defending our democracy. If political actors must resort to sewing ethnic hatred to win support, then they have already lost the moral ground. They offer no hope. No plan. No future. Just fear and division.

Let the record reflect:

• The NPP completely distances itself from the audio and its contents;

• We call for an independent investigation to expose its origin and hold accountable those responsible;

• We reaffirm our commitment to the unity and dignity of all Gambians—Fula, Mandinka, Wolof, Jola, Aku, Serer, and every tribe that makes up our national fabric;

• We remain focused on the upcoming Half-Die Ward by-election, where BOLO stands not as a tribal candidate, but as a capable, people-driven leader for all.

We will not be baited into hate. We will not be silenced by lies. We are focused on solutions, not slander. While others throw verbal stones, BOLO is walking the streets of Half-Die, listening, engaging, and proposing real plans for change.

To the people of Banjul: don’t be fooled by politics of distraction. These are the last gasps of a movement that knows it’s fading. Stand firm. Stay focused. Let us rise above.

The Gambia’s politics must not return to the dark corners of division. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲.
