The National Assembly is set to debate the highly anticipated Draft Constitution in March, aiming to replace the outdated 1997 version. Past hurdles and political biases pose challenges to its passage, raising uncertainties on its fate.

The highly controversial 2024 Draft Constitution bill faces a decisive second reading in the National Assembly next month, needing support from at least 42 members to progress and potentially lead to a referendum, with the ruling NPP and main opposition UDP holding key seats.

The political climate in Germany is becoming increasingly challenging for migrants, including over 30,000 Gambians, due to the rising popularity of the far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD). The party, known for its anti-migrant stance, has recently distributed around 30,000 counterfeit "deportation" tickets, sparking nationwide outrage and comparisons to Nazi-era practices. Gambian migrant activist in Germany, Yahya Sonko, warns that the growing support for AfD could lead to stricter residency requirements and an increased risk of deportation for immigrant communities.
