The UNITED Movement for Change has sharply criticized the government’s proposed Communications Bill 2026, warning it poses a serious threat to press freedom. The group alleges the measures are designed to tighten state control over journalists, content creators, and online speech ahead of the December presidential election. It has called on the National Assembly to reject the bill and uphold media independence, pledging solidarity with the Gambia Press Union.
