The Local Government Act passed in 2002 superseded the previous local government acts like Local Government Act (Amended 1984), Local Government (City of Banjul) Act (Amended 1988), The Kanifing Municipal Council Act 1991 and the Provinces Act. There were six local government areas, each subdivided into districts and wards. Residents elect a mayor and councilmen, with the mayor serving as chairman of the council.
