Independent presidential aspirant Lamin J. Darboe has pledged to make good governance the cornerstone of his leadership agenda, describing it as essential to The Gambia’s development and democratic progress.
Speaking to journalists after filing his nomination papers, Darboe said he is contesting as an independent candidate under the Team Gambia Grand Coalition following his resignation from the National Unity Party (NUP).
Darboe called on Gambians to judge him based on his public record, stating that his political career has been guided by progressive ideas, the strengthening of democratic institutions, and respect for the rule of law.
“The Gambia needs transparent governance and lawful leadership,” he said, arguing that these principles are necessary to address the country’s long-standing challenges and build a solid foundation for sustainable development.
According to Darboe, strengthening institutions, promoting accountability, and ensuring adherence to the rule of law are critical steps toward improving public trust and advancing national progress.
He maintained that good governance remains the key to unlocking the country’s potential and creating opportunities for future generations.
Darboe is among the candidates seeking to persuade voters that their vision offers the best path forward for The Gambia’s political and socio-economic development.
