Parliamentary elections were held in the Gambia on 17 January 2002. They were boycotted by several opposition parties, including the United Democratic Party.[1] As a result, the ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction of President Yahya Jammeh ran unopposed in 33 of the 48 elected seats,[2] and won 12 of the 15 seats in which they had opposition.

In seats where there was a vote, turnout was 56.4%
