Welcome to the Home page of UDP Nordic

UDP Nordic (Finland, Sweden and Norway) is a not for profit organisation founded on the 4^th February 2019 as an overseas chapter of the United Democratic Party (UDP). The UDP is an active political party in The Gambia.

We recognise that the UDP is, inter alia:

• The biggest political party in The Gambia;
• Intends to make credible political and constitutional reforms necessary to nurture a vibrant democratic society based on respect for the rule of law and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the citizenry;
• Intends to introduce a presidential term limit as way of ending the culture of self perpetuating rule;
• Intends to safeguard and strengthen the independence and the integrity of the judiciary particularly the criminal justice system;
• Is committed to the judicious appropriation of taxpayers’ money;
• Intends to create a conductive environment for attracting the much badly needed foreign investment into the country;
• Have the political will to tackle the prevalent youth unemployment issue;
• Notwithstanding all the above, the party has significant financial constraints which impedes it’s day to day operations in The Gambia.

Objectives

Our objective is:

• To assist the party’s fund raising drive in Finland, Sweden and Norway as well as collecting membership fees on behalf of the party;
• Provide technical and logistical support to the party; and
• To organise the party in the Nordic countries in anticipation of the much talked about diaspora enfranchisement expected to take place before the next presidential election due in 2021.
