Manifesto 2027–2037: shared values, shared prosperity.
“A nation's greatness is measured not by what it consumes, but by what it produces; not by the wealth of a few, but by the opportunities available to all; and not by the promises of its leaders, but by the progress of its people.”
The manifesto is a costed, sequenced and accountable plan. Its challenges of unemployment, poverty, weak infrastructure and food insecurity are the product of choices made and choices avoided. Different choices, made with discipline and vision, can produce different outcomes.
The EFF commits to defend the Constitution with no term limit extension, free, fair and credible elections, separation of powers, and respect for opposition and dissent.

A universal pension for every Gambian aged 65 and above, paid by mobile money, bank transfer or community distribution and linked to the national digital ID.
