Gambiaj.com – (BANJUL, The Gambia) – Supporters of the breakaway Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) and admirers of former President Yahya Jammeh have launched a structured monthly contribution drive, reviving calls for his return and injecting fresh momentum into the movement.

The initiative by the “No to Alliance” faction, which has gained traction both at home and within the Gambian diaspora, sets out clearly defined contribution tiers.

Diaspora supporters are pledging D1,000 each month, while men in The Gambia are contributing D200 and women D100 monthly, according to organizers and participants.

Backers describe the campaign as more than a fundraising exercise, framing it as a collective expression of loyalty and political belief.

An anonymous supporter in Banjul, speaking at a recent gathering, said the initiative reflects a shared vision for the country and a commitment to sustaining the movement’s activities.

The drive has spread across communities, from markets in Serekunda to online platforms linking Gambians abroad. Participants say the pooled funds are intended to support advocacy, community outreach, and events aimed at keeping the conversation around Jammeh and the APRC alive.

Several contributors interviewed emphasized the grassroots nature of the effort. A young mother from Foni described the campaign as a coming together of “ordinary people”—including fishers, traders, and teachers—motivated by what they see as hope and resilience.

Similar sentiments have been echoed in diaspora circles, where supporters say the monthly contributions offer a way to remain engaged in Gambian politics despite living abroad.

The renewed mobilization underscores the enduring influence of Jammeh-era politics years after his departure from power. While the initiative has energized his supporters, it also highlights the continued polarization within the country’s political landscape, as debates over the former president’s legacy and future remain a sensitive and contested issue.
