The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) on Sunday appointed Kebba Jallow interim leader following the appointment of its leader Papa Njie as Gambia’s High Commissioner to Nigeria. 

The party’s National Executive Committee made the announcement at an extraordinary meeting on Sunday October 4. 

“Mr. Jallow will continue to work with the existing structures of the party throughout the Gambia and abroad. The party hopes and wishes that all her supporters will give Jallow all the necessary support to move the party forward.

“The PPP is growing very fast and has recently attracted significant numbers of young people who believe in the principles and values of the party. PPP is open and we welcome everyone to join this great party,” the party said in a statement.

Kebba Jallow was the first Mayor of KMC and served as National Coordinator for the PPP Youth Wing from 1992 to 1994.

The party says Papa Njie is still a member of the PPP and “will always be in consultation with the executive’s members of the Party.”
