List of NAMs elected in the 2017 Gambian parliamentary election

The fifth National Assembly of the Gambia was the legislature of the Gambia elected at the 2017 parliamentary election and serving until the 2022 parliamentary election.

The 2017 election saw each of the National Assembly's 53 directly elected constituencies return one NAM, as well as each of the five nominated NAMs being appointed by the President of the Gambia, Adama Barrow. It resulted in an UDP majority of 14 (including nominated members), with 22 opposition NAMs in total.

National Assembly composition Below is a graphical representation of the National Assembly following the 2017 election, with 31 UDP NAMs, five APRC NAMs, five NRP NAMs, five GDC NAMs, four PDOIS NAMs, two PPP NAMs, one independent NAM and five nominated NAMs (all of whom are members of the UDP).

Constituency changes There was a difference in the number of constituencies between the 2012 and the 2017 elections.

Kombo North became Sanneh Menterreng, Old Yundum and Busumbala; Kombo Central became Brikama North and Brikama South; Serekunda East became Tallinding Kunjang and Latrikunda Sabiji; Serekunda Central became Serekunda and Bundungka Kunda.
