Constitution
Deliver a modern constitution that protects rights and strengthens checks and balances.
The United Democratic Party (UDP) proudly stands as The Party of the People, a national political party built on openness, inclusion, and a shared commitment to a better Gambia. Welcome to a party for progress, justice, and national pride.
2026 PRESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT
UDP flagbearer Ousainou Darboe has pledged to serve only one term if elected President in 2026. The one-term pledge is framed as a mission, not a career project: stabilize the nation, rebuild institutions, and hand over a stronger democratic state to the next leadership generation.
Deliver a modern constitution that protects rights and strengthens checks and balances.
Stabilize prices, support enterprise, and create conditions for jobs and national growth.
Professionalize security institutions with accountability and democratic civilian oversight.
Rebuild public service delivery through integrity, performance, and administrative reform.
Complete reform priorities in one term and hand over a stronger democratic foundation.
Darboe says he is answering a national call to lead, not seeking personal long-term power. The commitment is to build a durable foundation for institutional stability and democratic continuity in The Gambia.
