Kebba Jallow has officially resumed his role as Secretary General and Party Leader of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) following the party’s Electoral Commission verdict on a petition concerning the December 21st Congress. The decision resulted in the disqualification of Ousman Madikay Faal and six other candidates.
In an official statement, the PPP Electoral Commission announced the ruling, citing constitutional violations as the basis for the disqualifications.
“The Electoral Commission of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) wishes to inform the general membership of the party and the public that a verdict has been reached regarding the petition filed by certain candidates citing constitutional violations during the December 21st congress,” PPP announced.
Following consultations with legal experts, the commission determined that the disqualified candidates had violated Article 14.3(E) of the party’s constitution, which mandates that all candidates must sign an undertaking to participate in the electoral process. Failure to comply, the commission stated, results in automatic disqualification of Ousman Madikay Faal, Alpha Ousman Jallow, Sohna Amie Badjan Mboob, Mbemba Nanko, Amadou Bah, Dawda K Jarju, and Karafa Sambou
As a result, the party announced the final list of duly elected candidates who adhered to all constitutional requirements:
Kebba E Jallow: Secretary General and Party Leader
Uthman A. N. Jeng: Deputy Secretary General and Party Leader
Ousainou M. I. Jallow: National President
Maimuna Sawaneh: Deputy National Treasurer
The statement concluded with the PPP Electoral Commission expressing appreciation to party members for their patience and cooperation during the process.
“The Electoral Commission extends its gratitude to all members of the People’s Progressive Party for their patience and cooperation throughout this process. We reaffirm our commitment to upholding the party’s constitution and ensuring the integrity of our democratic processes,” they announced.
