For decades, the PPP was the dominant ruling party in Gambia. Since independence in 1965, she provided Dawda Jawara as the president. In 1994 he was overthrown by young army officers in a military coup. The party was banned from participating in the 1996 and 1997 elections.
Jawara was allowed to return from exile in London in 2002 , on condition that she no longer be politically active. In 2005 the PPP united under the leader Omar A. Jallow to form the opposition alliance National Alliance for Democracy and Development .
