King Bamba is dumb founded. I feel like those statued monkeys carved by those wood carvers at the tourist market. DEAF DUMB AND BLIND!

There is something about this convention that nobody is talking about; the absence of the international media groups like CNN, BBC, ALJEZERA etc. The Ayatollah told us that if we agreed to the convention model ( ofcourse we knew he was merely concoting a farce) it would be a big campaign and publicity event for the opposition as the occasion would be graced by BBC, CNN and others. It would be nice if the disciples can tell us something about this becaused I had been glued up to my TV and SKY REMOTE CONTROL for too long now without seeing an iota of anything Gambia. Not even BBC NETWORK AFRICA reported this convention.

An interesting predictions. However, what is no surprise is that, this whole Convention drama was by design. The purpose is to serve as a rallying cry for Halifa come 2016.
The plot is to get Ousainou Darboe out of the way becus should Jammeh win this election, Darboe's age will disqualify him.
Hamat Bah is already bribed now with the farcical leadership.
Halifa will henceforth start his propaganda as someone who sacrificed and declined to put himself forward for leadership in 2011. Hamat and Gomez will obviously give chance to him.
He will cultivate that notion and allow his core supporters to drum up that message. Then the idea will be floated that, since Ousainou is out of the way, Halifa is the only well known candidate to liberate the Gambia. hence his plan is for 2016.
As we can see, Halifa is not shy to call himself Mandela and Tutu, he will reinvent himself and start repeating the so-call sacrifice he did with Hamat and Gomez.
But a shock awaits him. Folks have now read through him amd many up coming Gambians are not in need of his lectures.
We want change now.

Guys
On October 28, following an exchange with Ansu Koroma on the Mighty, I penned this short memo to myself on the outcome of Halifa's Convention slated for yesterday, 03/11/11.
I read everything from Halifa, PDOIS, and other members of this party.
Hamat as Halifa's flag bearer was always a foregone conclusion
Enjoy

"Can you guess the presidential candidate for the convention proponents? Stay tuned for the joke and the insincerity of the year. Let me know if you are up for a private bet on who the presidential candidate for the NRP, PDOIS, and GPDP will be. We live in absolutely hilarious times!"
Memo to self
After above statement in response to to Ansu Koroma on the GPost, I here offer a short reflection on why I think Hamat Bah will emerge as the Presidential candidate for Halifa's convention-adherent parties of PDOIS, NRP, GPDP. As NADD and PDOIS represent the same interests, I am not fooled by any unwarranted attempt to treat them as different entities.
After taking a battering, it is obvious Halifa's reputation is in tatters from Gambians who yearn for a united opposition front against the Professor on 24 November. Except for PDOIS's doctrinaire supporters, the pragmatic majority of opposition Gambia are not amused by Halifa's insistence on united flag bearer selection mechanisms calculated to push the UDP off the table. Even on the GPost, there is a noticeable negative shift in support for Halifa.
Consequently, and with a view to restoring his battered reputation, Halifa will not be the presidential candidate for the so-called convention camp. His motivation His motivation can only be underscored by his overwhelming desire to be seen as a high minded person who takes the high road. I do not buy into this ostensible high mindedness, but accept that in the overall calculus of what is at stake for Halifa, Hamat Bah will emerge as flag bearer for the convention camp.
Although Henry represents only Henry, he is a good candidate for Hamat's running mate, but to curtail the ridiculousness of the whole process, I think this honour will go to either Halifa or Sidia. For Henry to be running mate, PDOIS/NADD must first decline the nudge, but again, to curtail the ridiculousness, Henry has no chance. He will have a good consolation prize for a person who represents only himself.
At the end of the day, the whole thing will be purely farcical, and Halifa will be the biggest loser in the long run.
