"Global Mayors of Parliament On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Global Parliament of Mayors, we are writing to extend our heartfelt congratulations on your recent re-election as the Mayor of Banjul.

Your victory not only demonstrates your remarkable leadership but also the faith and trust that the people of Banjul have placed in you once again."

The letter says it is a momentous occasion to witness history being made as Mayor Lowe continues to serve as the first female mayor of Banjul.

"Her commitment to public service, dedication to promoting good governance and relentless pursuit of improving the lives of the residents of Banjul have been inspiring," it adds.
