Breaking News:UDP Led Alliance Issues Statement Rejecting the Elections Results!
PRESS STATEMENT
Ladies and gentlemen of the local and international
press, we have gone through a Presidential election on
Friday 22nd September, 2006 and now that we have
received the declaration of results by the Chairman of
the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), we in the
UDP/NRP/GPDP Alliance wish to state that:
We totally reject the results declared by Jammehs
IEC whose Chairman had declared during his swearing in
before the President that eighty to ninety percent of
the country are behind Jammeh.
Similarly, Jammeh himself had declared the outcome of
the elcections when he stated that neither the ballot
nor a coup detat could remove him from office. The
declared results are therefore his results and those
of the security services who throughout the campaign
period and after, were seen displaying the ruling APRC
party colours and symbols on their vehicles, offices
and on their persons.
We categoricallly state that the declared result does
not reflect the massive support that the UDP/NRP/GPDP
Alliance have in this country and which was expressed
up to the end of the campaign on 20th September, 2006.
We strongly believe that the use of force
characterised by intimidation and harassement as well
as inducement by agents of the Executive at the local
level greatly influenced the peculiar voting pattern
reflected during the elections.
We therefore, totally reject the results and we call
on all our supporters to remain calm and vigilant and
not to succumb to provocation and harassment.
UDP/NRP/GPDP Alliance
Banjul.
