UDP's Momodou Sabally Rejected Amid Police Brutality Condemnation
Back in March 2022, Momodou Sabally’s application to contest as the Busumbala parliamentarian for the UDP was disqualified by an IEC returning officer based on his Janneh Commission ban.
This lost report captures the victim center and the National Human Rights Commission's condemnation of police brutality that followed and UDP leader Darboe’s condemnation of the IEC’s decision.
Sabally vowed to defiantly oppose the Barrow government but eventually succumbed to joining the NPP after the government rescinded his Janneh Commission ban from public office.
