The UK has had no discussions with the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma,
about The Gambia’s return to the Commonwealth. The decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth
was an executive decision taken solely by Gambian President Jammeh. Although the Commonwealth
Secretary-General has publicly stated that The Gambia’s return would be welcomed,
President Jammeh has made it clear that he will not reverse his decision. If The Gambia
did decide to return to the Commonwealth, it would need to make a formal application
to the Secretary-General.
