A Rejoinder- The Way Forward For Democratic Change

By The UDP Steering Committee-UK

On the 25th September 2009, the spokesperson and former flagbearer of the opposition National Alliance for Democracy and Development [NADD] published an article in the Foroyaa Newspaper under the above heading in which he made the following statements;

‘The split confirmed that a party led alliance or a divided alliance is not the way to bring about change in the Gambia.  A divided NADD became extremely weak. The UDP party led alliance also showed its weakness. Instead of adding votes from the NRP and GDP, the UDP led alliance lost approximately 80,000 votes. In short, while UDP had approximately 145,000 votes in 2001presidential elections, in 2006 it ended up with approximately 104,000 votes. NRP had approximately 35, 000 votes in 2001. This did not feature in the votes of the UDP led alliance in 2006. Hence putting the three parties together did not lead to more votes; on the contrary it led to a lower number of votes. There is no empirical evidence to indicate that the same tactic will yield a different outcome.’

This is a complete glib and forms part of Halifa Sallah’s subterfuge to conceal his personal longstanding reluctance to rally behind a UDP led alliance and/or candidate. The UDP led alliance did not lose 80,000 votes in the 2006 presidential election neither is it tenable to attribute its defeat in that election to the type of alliance they had adopted with the National Reconciliation Party [NRP] and the Gambia People’s Democratic Party [GPDP.] Here are the facts;

DARBOE'S STRATEGY IS INDEED RIGHT
(the 3rd Rejoinder)

By The Democrat
 
Moliere stated in 1972 that “a knowledgeable fool is a greater fool than an ignorant fool”; whilst Friedrich von Schiller stated in 1801 that “with stupidity even the gods struggle in vain”. Certainly the clown disguising under Oceanic Lad has no value for his criticism of Lawyer Darboe’s strategy than to clearly manifest his brazenness. In his retardedness, this so called New York Legal Assistant had lost his sight off the subject under discord, which had nothing to do with his resume. Furthermore, unless this empty head failed to realise; the New York Central Booking has no staff by that name of his, Oceanic Lad. Hence, I wonder what the essence of his forged bravado is all about.
