Former Kartong Ward councillor and current executive member of the National People's party Lamin Jamba Jammeh has expressed his interest to run under NPP ticket for the upcoming Brikama Area Council Chairmanship, slated to take place on May 20th 2023. 


The Kartong born politician who once served as councillor for Kartong Ward for 8 years  has now shown his admiration to contest for the 2nd time for the Brikama Area Council (BAC)  Chairmanship role.


Confirming his intention in running  for Brikama Area Council, Mr Jammeh took to his social media handle and wrote

“West Coast I know your problem and I can solve it. Time for implementation,” he said.


Lamin Jamba Jammeh may face stiff competition with the likes of Ahmed Gitteh, Sheriffo Sonko and Dr Ismaila Ceesay who may all be potential candidates for the National People's Party.


Mr Jammeh, a phylantropist and seasoned community development activist, has for the past years supported numerous projects notably provision of Ambulances and other rural livelihood initiatives.


He previously contested in 2018 as independent with other candidates:  Sheriffo Sonko of UDP, Fa-Ansu Sanneh for GDC and Bakary Saibo Sanneh for APRC but became 3rd.
