Muslim Congress Party

February 22, 2023

The Muslim Congress Party was a political party in the Gambia. The party was founded during the pre-independence period to represent the Muslim population in the colony of Bathurst (now Banjul). The party was led by I. Garba-Jahumpa.[1] The party emerged from the Bathurst Young Muslim Society.[2]

Garba-Jahumpa won one of the three directly elected seat in the Legislative Council in 1951 and 1954, as the MCP candidate.[3] It contested the 1960 election in alliance with the People's Progressive Party (which was based in the rural areas).[2]

Ahead of the 1962 election, the MCP merged with the Democratic Party to form the Democratic Congress Alliance.[1]
