[1] The APRC was formed in 1996 to support coup organiser Yahya Jammeh's successful campaign in the 1996 presidential election.

For instance, no other candidates ran in 33 of the 45 National Assembly seats won by the APRC in the 2002 parliamentary elections, as the main opposition boycotted what it described would be an unfair vote.

[3] Jammeh was ultimately denied a fifth term in the 2016 presidential election by activist Adama Barrow, and the APRC lost a whopping 38 seats in the following year's parliamentary vote, going into opposition for the first time.

[4] New leader Fabakary Jatta has sought to distance the party from the alleged crimes committed by Jammeh during his twenty year rule, and endorsed Barrow's successful re-election campaign in 2021.

After the 2022 parliamentary election resulted in a hung parliament for the first time in the country's history, the APRC formed a coalition agreement with Barrow's National People's Party.
