The Gambia’s Spring Elections

On April 15, 2023, Local Elections for Councilors (commonly referred to as Councillorship Elections) of the 120 Gambian wards were successfully held.

Local Government Mayoral and Chairpersons’ Elections in the eight (8) Gambian local government areas are taking place in the Republic of The Gambia on Saturday, May 20, 2023.

By Gambian law, the conduct of Local Government Elections are prescribed to be held twelve (12) months after National Assembly Elections, which took place in 2022.

Chairman Alieu Momarr Njai disclosed that the Independent Election Commission (IEC) has registered nineteen (19) political parties.

Electoral Services International Inc. (ESI) was more than pleased to be asked by the IEC to supply them with their electoral materials for these two democratic events in 2023.

It is ESI’s sincere hope that voting day is peaceful and successfully conducted. We thank our partners, The Gambia’s IEC, for their loyalty and support.
