National Unity Party — The Gambia
National Unity Party — The Gambia
From humble beginnings to a national movement for change
The National Unity Party was founded as an organization anchored on the principle that party leaders come and go after serving their full term but the party remains. The founding fathers adopted a revolutionary resolution that none of them would vie for leadership positions.
For two years, the party conducted nationwide consultations with ordinary Gambians and subject matter specialists to develop "The People's Manifesto" - a comprehensive development blueprint for The Gambia.
Abdoulie Ebrima Jammeh was unveiled as the Presidential Candidate at the Sir Dawda Jawara International Conference Centre. His extensive public service experience and vision captured the nation's imagination.
NUP participated in the presidential elections, building a foundation for future growth and establishing presence across all regions of The Gambia.
The party underwent structural reorganization, strengthening regional committees and preparing for future elections with renewed vision.
Dr. Lamin J. Darbo appointed as Party Leader, Secretary General and Standard Bearer, bringing new energy and strategic direction to the party.
Founding fathers committed to creating a people-driven movement by not seeking leadership positions for themselves, ensuring the party belongs to ordinary Gambians.
No Party Leader shall serve more than two terms - whether in government or opposition. This ensures leadership renewal, accountability, and sustained innovation.
Our founding principle is rooted in building a merit-based government driven by national interest, not party affiliation or political patronage.
To unite all the people of The Gambia, irrespective of political, racial, religious and tribal affiliations. We believe our diversity is our strength.
To curb the rise of corruption and establish transparent systems that ensure equitable distribution of national resources.
To improve the standard of living for all Gambians through sustainable economic development and quality public services.
