UDP’s Online Army: Asset or Liability? | Saihou Saidyleigh on Bitilo

Are the UDP’s online activists strengthening the party—or undermining its message? Saihou Saidyleigh joins Nfally Fadera on Bitilo for a candid conversation about online activism, political loyalty and accountability ahead of The Gambia’s 2026 election. From his upbringing and journey to the UK to his activism under the name “Honest Gambian,” we explore the experiences that shaped his politics—and the public record he must defend. We discuss: • His role in the anti-Jammeh struggle • Memories of Pa Nderry Mbai and the Freedom Newspaper era • The influence and conduct of UDP’s online activists • Public disputes, corrections and personal accountability • UDP’s election message and the credibility of its promises • President Barrow’s record, Talib Bensouda and opposition divisions Where does loyalty end—and independent judgment begin?
