Banjul, 21 September 2025 — The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) wishes to officially inform its members, supporters, and the Gambian public that at the Central Committee meeting held on Sunday, 21 September 2025, the Secretary-General and Party Leader, Hon. Ousman Madikay Faal, introduced a set of reforms to strengthen peace, unity, transparency, and accountability within the party’s structures.

Strengthening the Party’s Administration

As part of the administrative reshuffle, Sir Dawda H.E. Jarju was appointed Interim National Administrative Secretary, in addition to his continuing service as National Youth President. His appointment reflects the party’s commitment to empowering young leaders and integrating the energy of the Youth Wing into the heart of PPP’s administration.

The Central Committee emphasized that this decision was necessary to ensure that the day-to-day administration of the party remains effective, disciplined, and forward-looking.

Adoption of the PPP Financial Policy

The meeting also unanimously approved the PPP Financial Policy, a comprehensive framework that safeguards the party’s financial resources, enforces strict accountability, and aligns all financial practices with the constitution.

The policy represents an important step in the institutional rebuilding of the PPP. It ensures that contributions from members, partners, and supporters will be managed with transparency, audited regularly, and applied solely toward initiatives that advance the party’s mission of service to the Gambian people.

Guided by Leadership and Legacy

These reforms, guided by the advice of the Board of Trustees and inspired by the vision of the Secretary-General and Party Leader, mark another step in rebuilding and institutionalizing the PPP.

The party leader underscored that the PPP, founded on the principles of democracy, unity, and service to the people, remains dedicated to carrying forward the legacy of its founding fathers while adapting to the demands of modern Gambian politics.

“The PPP must remain the people’s party, accountable in its finances, united in its leadership, and faithful to its democratic traditions. Today’s decisions strengthen our structures and reaffirm our mission to serve The Gambia with integrity and vision,” Hon. Ousman Madikay Faal stated.

A Renewed Democratic Force

The People’s Progressive Party reiterates that these reforms are not just internal measures, but part of a broader effort to position the PPP as a credible, democratic, and people-centered political force.

Through strong institutions, transparent governance, and inclusive leadership, the PPP is determined to play a central role in shaping The Gambia’s democratic future for generations to come.
