Speaking on Monday at the alliance’s nomination rally at the Buffer Zone in Tallinding, Mr. Darboe told thousands of supporters that the massive turnout demonstrated growing public confidence in his leadership and his campaign’s promise of national renewal.
The rally followed his submission of nomination papers to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) earlier in the day, in what has been described as his final presidential bid after more than three decades in Gambian politics.
“You can impersonate us, but you will not reach us,” Mr. Darboe declared, in an apparent message to his political opponents.
He described the gathering as unprecedented in The Gambia’s political history, arguing that the large turnout reflected the public’s determination to bring about a change of government in the December 5 presidential election. BuyMaps

He said the thousands who accompanied him to the IEC had already delivered a powerful political message, demonstrating what he described as widespread belief in his ability to lead the country out of its current challenges.
