The Gambian government has dismissed findings from a recent Afrobarometer survey, which reported that 77% of Gambians believe the country is heading in the “wrong direction.”

Officials labeled the survey as reflecting subjective opinions rather than a factual or comprehensive analysis of government performance. They argued that it fails to account for the impact of ongoing initiatives aimed at improving the country’s trajectory.

This response comes amid heightened public scrutiny, with citizens expressing concerns about governance and the overall direction of the nation.
