WAREF Abandons Presidential Ambitions, Endorses Barrow Ahead of December

Published by: The Fatu Network

The Alliance for Reorientation and Economic Force (WAREF), led by Modou Lamin Bah, has endorsed President Adama Barrow and joined the ruling National People’s Party (NPP)-led Grand Alliance ahead of December.

Bah, whose movement previously unveiled an ambitious US$10.995 billion development plan known as Vision 2045, formalised the alliance during a meeting at State House on Tuesday, following discussions involving GDC leader Mama Kandeh and Gender Minister Fatou Kinteh.

Despite WAREF’s earlier presidential ambitions, Bah insisted that joining the NPP did not mean abandoning the movement’s vision, but pursuing its development goals through a different political path.

“We are not entering politics to occupy positions. We enter it to transform and help develop our country,” Bah stated.
