Sidibeh,
There would be a good number of inconsistemcies that we in the diaspora 
cannot answere in cyberspace. That is why I believe Coalition leaders need 
to wait for reports from polling Agents. They play a vital role in giving 
pictures of what actually take place at individual polling stations. You 
have mentioned the case of vote buying, for example. If an agent actually 
knows his or her zone  he or she would be abled to tell who actually voted, 
not only by ticking their names on the register, but by physically 
identifying them. You also mentioned Serrekunda west, I have spoken to a 
number of youths from that constituency and from what they told me, they 
were really frustrated by the collapse of The Grand Coalition. With a high 
level of youth unemployment and urban poverty, you can imagine how people in 
this constituency can fall in the hands of those buying opposition votes. 
However, there is no doubt that those on the ground need to be cautious and 
go through the reports available to them meticulously.
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!
Omar Joof.
