Présidentielle en Gambie : L’Union européenne souhaite un scrutin inclusif
In The Gambia, the presidential election is scheduled for December 5, 2026. Adama Barrow, the incumbent president, has stated for many months that he will seek another term. Opponents such as Ousainou Darboe and Talib Bensouda will most likely be in the running to challenge him.

In any case, that is what the European Union wants, which has launched an election observation mission in the country.
The 2026 presidential election is an "opportunity for The Gambia to continue strengthening its democracy."
The head of the mission, Reinhold Lopatka, stated that he hoped to witness "an election campaign and election day that demonstrates the functioning of democracy in The Gambia, and that allows all legitimate candidates to stand, giving voters the opportunity to freely express their choice."
For him, the 2026 presidential election is "an opportunity for The Gambia to continue strengthening its democracy." And this requires inclusiveness, credibility, and transparency in the voting process.
Since 2016, the EU has observed all national elections in The Gambia and has supported reforms aimed at strengthening independent institutions, consolidating the rule of law and protecting human rights.
