In a statement signed by Seedy S.K. Njie, the party’s deputy spokesman, it was said that the appointments underscore the party’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, grassroots mobilization, and inclusive national development in preparation for upcoming national engagements.

“On behalf of the National Executive, membership, and supporters, His Excellency President Adama Barrow extends his heartfelt congratulations to all newly appointed officials,” the statement read.

He added that Barrow urges them to discharge their duties with diligence, integrity, and patriotic dedication.
