Barely two months before the anticipated upcoming local government elections of April 15th, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, Secretary General of the APRC Party, announced that the APRC- NPP coalition will win all the nineteen wards of the Kanifing Municipality.

To achieve this goal, Hon. Jatta also called on the members of other political parties who are part of the APRC- NPP alliance to vote for APRC and NPP candidates in their respective wards nationwide.
The five candidates for the APRC ticket include; Ba Lamin Gibba for Abuko ward, Babucarr Mansaly for Talinding North Ward, Marie Ndong for Bundung ward and Tijan Jarju For New Jeshwang ward, and Lamin P. Jarju for Kotu and Manjai community.
The APRC-NPP coalition also includes other political like the National Reconciliation Party NRP of Hon Hamat Bah and other notable parties.
