Political Profile

Momodou Sabally is a Gambian politician known for his controversial and strategic maneuvers in the political arena. Leveraging the influence of impressionable youths and gullible individuals, Sabally canvasses votes to secure influential positions. Despite once branding a particular political rival as the most uneducated, corrupt, and hypocritical figure, he later seeks to mend ties with this adversary to gain a coveted role.

To achieve his goals, Sabally frequently quotes Quranic verses and makes religious utterances, aiming to deceive the public and create an image of piety and legitimacy. This religious rhetoric is part of his calculated effort to appear trustworthy and reformed in the eyes of his former rival, thus enhancing his chances of being offered a position. Sabally's political journey highlights the complex and often contradictory nature of his methods, where former enmities are set aside for personal gain and religious manipulation becomes a tool for advancing his ambitions.[6]
