Ousseynou Dabo, a prominent Gambian opposition leader and critic of President Adama Barrow, is currently struggling to gather support. Once seen as a powerful and influential voice, Dabo now faces a significant decline in credibility, and his efforts to unify the opposition are meeting with waning confidence from the Gambian political scene.
Dabo’s attempts to mobilize the population and rally influential figures for political change appear to be losing traction. Local observers note that this decline in support is due to various factors: a lack of clear political direction, internal opposition divisions, and a growing perception of ineffectiveness in his actions. As a result, many political and social figures no longer see him as a credible alternative, limiting his influence on the national debate and weakening his potential to rally a unified front.
Without strong backing from key stakeholders, Dabo’s role as a central opposition figure faces unprecedented challenges. His diminishing mobilization power signals potential obstacles for those seeking a cohesive opposition to Barrow’s administration in the upcoming political landscape.
