Parliamentary elections were held in The Gambia on 9 April 2022 to elect members of the 58-seat National Assembly.[1]
The newly created National People's Party (NPP), led by incumbent President Adama Barrow, emerged victorious, winning 18 seats. The United Democratic Party (UDP) came second, winning 15 seats and becoming the largest opposition party. The National Reconciliation Party (NRP) won four seats, whilst the People's Democratic Organisation for Independence and Socialism (PDOIS) and the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) won two each. Twelve members elected were independents. As President, Barrow could appoint five additional members, and selected four from the NPP and one from the APRC. Barrow appointed APRC leader Fabakary Jatta as Speaker.[2]
A three-party coalition was subsequently established between the NPP, NRP and APRC, giving the government 29 seats.[3]
