2026 PRESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT

Ousainou Darboe's One-Term Mission for National Renewal

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.

Constitution

Deliver a modern constitution that protects rights and strengthens checks and balances.

Economy

Stabilize prices, support enterprise, and create conditions for jobs and national growth.

Security Reform

Professionalize security institutions with accountability and democratic civilian oversight.

Civil Service

Rebuild public service delivery through integrity, performance, and administrative reform.

Transition

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.

β€” Lawyer ANM Ousainu Darboe, Party Leader
