The National Unity Party (NUP) is mourning the loss of its Party Leader and Secretary General, Mr. Abdoulie Ebrima Jammeh, who passed away today following a brief illness. He died at Afrimed Hospital in The Gambia.

Mr. Jammeh, who also served as NUP’s presidential candidate in the 2021 election, was a respected public servant and political figure known for his dedication to national development and public service.
