Halifa Sallah and Sidia Jatta are currently protecting the Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026, an initiative aimed at organizing political efforts within The Gambia. Amid public speculation regarding his political future, Halifa Sallah addressed the media to clarify his role and the nature of the coalition's work.
Halifa Sallah stated, "Sidia Jatta and myself are still protecting Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 and facing the media because of warrior journalists like those of What’s On Gambia. They are fighters against truth and propagators of lies to promote their political agenda." He further addressed the focus on his personal intentions, noting, "They would want to bury the whole forest by focusing on a tree. This is the way of diverting the attention of the people from the truth and focus the debate in the media on a very trivial issue like whether Halifa Sallah will make a comeback or not."
The leadership of the coalition remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency regarding its internal structures and future intentions. By maintaining a consistent presence before the media, Halifa Sallah and Sidia Jatta aim to ensure that the public remains informed about the specific goals of the Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026. This ongoing engagement is viewed as a necessary step to counter what the leadership describes as misinformation circulating within the media landscape. The work being performed by the coalition is designed to establish a clear foundation for its upcoming political activities.
Operational plans for the coalition include a public outreach effort scheduled for 22 October 2026, when Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 will distribute flyers. This distribution is intended to inform the public about the coalition's ongoing objectives. The distribution of these flyers on October 22, 2026, serves as a primary method for the organization to disseminate its official platform directly to the citizens of The Gambia. By providing printed materials, the Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 seeks to ensure that its message is communicated accurately and reaches a broad audience, effectively bypassing the media narratives that the leadership has criticized.
Internal procedures for selecting a candidate have also been established by the group. Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 requires presidential aspirants to have their pictures on a banner with coordinators holding a torch to identify those seeking the flagbearer nomination. This visual requirement serves as a method for the organization to distinguish individuals actively pursuing the nomination from other participants. By utilizing this specific imagery, the Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 creates a standardized identification process for all potential flagbearers. The presence of a torch held by coordinators acts as a symbolic and practical marker, ensuring that the public and members of the coalition can easily recognize those candidates who have officially declared their intent to seek the nomination. This rigorous approach to candidate identification reflects the broader organizational strategy of maintaining order and clarity within the Team Gambia Grand Coalition 2026 as it prepares for its future political engagements.
