Madam Sabally started with the Barrow Youth for National Development, Barrow Fan Club and then the NPP.
Reacting to his sister’s decision to join him, UDP’s foot soldier Momodou Sabally said: “Well this is major league stuff; and certainly nothing short of a game changer in the run up to the 2021 two-horse race between NPP and UDP.
“I feel vindicated and revved up as I intensify my push to unseat Barrow and install Lawyer Darboe as our next president. Having my sister by my side is both insulation and an energizing shot. She knows grassroots politics more than I do and her links, built up over half a century nationwide will be an invaluable addition to our election machinery,” Sabally said.
