Since his election to the National Assembly in 2022 as one of The Gambia's youngest ever MPs, Hon. Abdoulie Njai has built a record of bold legislation, regional leadership, and relentless advocacy for the people of Banjul Central.
A vocal champion for the reintroduction of the Anti-Corruption Bill in the National Assembly, Hon. Njai has consistently argued that accountability and transparency are foundational to Gambia's democratic future. His vocal advocacy in plenary sessions has kept this critical legislation in the national conversation.
