Mama Kandeh (born 12 July 1965) is a member of the Pan-African Parliament from the Gambia. He is the founding leader of the Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) political party, which he formed in the summer of 2016. He ran as a candidate in the Gambian presidential election of 2016 and received 17.1% of the votes.[1]

Background[edit]

He once attended Crab Island School in Banjul, and Gambia Technical Training Institute [de] (GTTI) in Jeshwang, Serrekunda, Kanifing.[2]

He was formerly a member of the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction, which was the ruling party at the time, but was expelled and formed the GDC.[citation needed]

He pulled 17.8 % of the votes in the Gambian presidential election of 2016.[3]

In November 2021, Mama Kandeh's candidacy for the presidential election of 2021-22 is validated by the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI).[4] He was endorsed by ex-President and former rival Yahya Jammeh.[5] He ended up as the third with 12.32% of the vote in the 2021 election, which was won by incumbent president Adama Barrow.[6]
