The opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) released a statement on Thursday, December 22, 2022, condemning last Tuesday’s alleged attempted coup.
“The United Democratic Party learns of an attempted coup d’etat in The Gambia with shock and dismay. The UDP strongly condemns without any reservations the attempt to change the government unconstitutionally. The UDP believes in and adheres to the principles of Democracy. Change in government should always be through the ballot of the box. The UDP commends the leadership of the Gambia Armed Forces for acting in a timely fashion to foil the attempted coup d’etat.”
“The UDP reiterates its total condemnation of any attempt to change the government unconstitutionally,” the statement reads.
