- Considering the need to unite all the people of The Gambia, irrespective of political, racial, religious and tribal affiliations; the need to curb the rise of corruption, and the need to improve the standard of living for all Gambians;

​

- Believing in basic progressive democratic principles and determined to transform the political dynamics into a modern collective ideology whilst ushering in new hope for the Gambian people;

​

- Mindful of the fact that right policies are required to build and achieve a progressive and fair democratic system in The Gambia which will only be seen to be working if all Gambians can bring themselves to a common good for the development of the country;

​

- Recognizing the relevance to implement change that will be focused on the “essential socio-economic transformations which will address National Security, poverty, youth unemployment, health, food security, literacy and inequality”;

​

- Convinced that for an equitable and fair distribution of the nation’s resources to be achieved, serious sectoral development across all the regions of the country must take place whilst ensuring that there is rapid economic growth aimed at poverty reduction and sustainable livelihood through robust economic regeneration schemes;

​

- Desirous to break all types of behavior pertaining to religious discrimination, gender inequality, ethnic disharmony, insensitivity to disability and other forms of discrimination as well as to provide security for all Gambians to live in peace and harmony and enjoy their inalienable rights;
