OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM ACT IS APT
The ACT APT movement wishes to officially express its deep concern regarding the process leading to the recently concluded KMRFA Elective Congress held on 25th May 2026.
Our position remains clear and consistent: football administration must be guided by accountability, credibility, transparency, and strict adherence to constitutional processes.
The decision by our camp to withdraw from the election process was not out of fear or lack of support, but out of principle and concern over several serious procedural and governance issues surrounding the congress.
Among the concerns raised were:
• The absence of a properly constituted Electoral Committee until the day of the election.
• Concerns regarding constitutional amendments and processes.
• The non-holding of Annual General Meetings over the past four years.
• The absence of independently audited financial reports by an external auditing body.
• Concerns regarding transparency, governance, and compliance with constitutional procedures.
• Interference with some of the Gambia football federation GFF senior members in the Electoral process by appointing the GFF Communication Director Baboucarr Camara as chairman of the electoral committee was unconstitutional especially on the day of the congress instead of a year ago according to the constitution.
• Nomination process was unlawful and unfair to candidates who sent in their interest for an executive post, which was sent to the outgoing executive when it was supposed to be sent to an independent body known as the electoral body which was not in place until the day of the elective congress which was a huge constitutional violation.
As stakeholders who care deeply about grassroots football and the integrity of football administration within the Kanifing Municipality, we believe these concerns cannot simply be ignored in the interest of fairness, accountability, and the future credibility of our football structures.
We therefore respectfully call on:
• The Gambia Football Federation (GFF)
• The National Sports Council (NSC)
• The Ministry of Youth & Sports
• KM Sports and relevant stakeholders
to look into the concerns surrounding the electoral process and take the necessary steps in the interest of justice, transparency, and good governance.
This movement has never been about personalities or positions. It has always been about protecting the integrity of football administration and ensuring that future generations inherit structures built on fairness, accountability, and trust.
ACT is APT.
Accountability. Credibility. Transparency.
Appropriate leadership. Progression. Transformation.
