In a jubilant mood, Bah revealed some of his networking with other African, American business tycoons positing that his regime will bring rapid development and he will greatly boost the economy of the country within five years of his leadership.
“If you don’t know who you are, you don’t know what belongs to you and someone can take it from you,” said Halifa Sallah, secretary general of PDOIS.
Sallah told the rally that time has come for them to elect a leader who can serve their interest.
He said that with the United Front, the president will serve for only one term. He also stressed the high level of poverty Gambian are facing saying that everywhere in the country is hard for the people but unless people vote the regime out, the problems would not be solved, but it would increase every day.

He said, the United Front is here to end slavery, injustice and maltreatments that are happening in The Gambia.
For Hamat NK Bah to resigned from the NRP  and stood as an independent candidate, Jatta said clearly shows that Mr. Bah want a change and that can only happen if Gambians vote for him.
