The Gambia is divided into five divisions and one city. The divisions of the Gambia are created by the Independent Electoral Commission in accordance to Article 192 of the National Constitution.[1]
- Lower River (Mansa Konko)
- Central River (Janjanbureh)
- North Bank (Kerewan)
- Upper River (Basse)
- Western (Brikama)
- Banjul (North, Central, South)
The national capital, Banjul, is classified as a city.
The divisions are further subdivided into 48 districts. Of these, Kombo Saint Mary (which shares Brikama as a capital with the Western division) may have been administratively merged with the greater Banjul area.[2]
There are 8 Local Government Areas of The Gambia.
