Following the landmark Supreme Court decision NADD's registration as a political party became the only consolidated fact in law.  It is neither an "alliance" nor a "party of parties".  The Supreme Court also ruled that no political candidate shall belong to two political parties at the same time.  If UDP intends to sponsor its candidates in the upcoming by-elections as reported then NADD is definitely in disarray as a political party.  On the other hand if NADD consolidates itself into a political party then it cannot legally sponsor candidates as the Gambian constitution clearly stipulates that there shall be nothing less than three political parties to contest an election.

Obviously NADD has a serious problem from now till 2006.

Press Release

By NADD Executive

8 August 2005



Reports reaching the NADD Executive that NADD is in a disarray as conveyed by the press is without foundation.

Following the Supreme Court decision there exist some legal, political, organisational and administrative issues to deal with to consolidate the status of NADD and its members.

The Executive is engage in a consultative exercise in order to come to a final decision which shall be made public at a press conference.

At the moment no party has opted to revoke its link with NADD and NADD is definitely not in disarray.
