The
former Interior minister, Mai Ahmad Fatty, has been re-elected as the national
chairman by the militants of The Gambia Moral Congress (GMC).
Addressing
delegates at the end of the gathering, Mr. Fatty asserted that nothing was
‘impossible’ at GMC.
“The
impossible is only a figment of other people’s imagination,” he says to a
cheering crowd. “We will give our best to make GMC not only the strongest but
the biggest political party in The Gambia. We will make GMC the political party
that will consolidate democracy in The Gambia.”
Mr.
Fatty, 50, was backed by all 360 delegates during the big two-day event which
opened on Saturday at the Friendship Hostel in Bakau.
Mr.
Fatty added: “We will embrace everybody. We will welcome all Gambians from all
tribes, men and women from all parts of the country. Every Gambian belongs to
where you want to be but we invite and welcome every Gambian.”
He
said GMC will continue to support the government of President Barrow for the
development of the country, adding GMC is still part of the coalition despite
his relieve.
The
Nyakoi-born lawyer politician takes the helm of a party that is showing signs
of reinvention after many years fighting a dictatorship.
And
as a stakeholder in the President Adama Barrow-led coalition government, Mr.
Fatty said “we will strengthen government efforts toward national development.”
Hne
said they support the president’s programme because the National Development
Programme is also our programme. We will work hard together with all
progressive forces and with other political parties in unison, in unity, in
cooperation and collaboration to give the Gambian people the democracy that
they deserve.”
According
to Mr. Fatty, the Gambia Moral Congress was founded to restore morality back
into politics, adding that “politics and morality go together because at the
end of the day, politics should be about morality.”
He
said: “The Gambia Moral Congress came into existence to establish the principle
that, “you can conduct politics with morality.” It should be about being a good
citizen. It should be about honesty. It should be about sacrifice. It should be
about commitment. It should be about family values. It should be about respect
for the decency of labour.
“When
we succeed in bringing morality at the heart of the political debate, then we
will be able to practice politics with morality and all the negative vices that
are associated with politics would be gone or substantially mitigated.”
Meanwhile,
Mai Fatty was elected the chairman, Buba Khan, deputy chairman, Alagie A.f Jallow, national
