In the presidential elections on October 18, 2001, he reached third place, 7.8 percent of the vote. In January 2005 the NRP allied itself with four other opposition parties to form the National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD).

Soon after the NADD was registered as a party , the Supreme Court revoked Bah's seat in the National Assembly he won in 2002 for the Upper Saloum district of the Central River Region . This seat was assigned to two parties at the same time. In a by-election held in June 2005, he lost his seat to a member of the ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) party.

On November 15, 2005, Bah was arrested with two other NADD party officials ( Halifa Sallah from the People's Democratic Organization for Independence and Socialism (PDOIS) and Omar A. Jallow from the People's Progressive Party (PPP)). They were accused of subversion.
