For Immediate Release
Friday, January 20, 2006

The Political Liaison for STGDP, Mr. Maila Touray, and the Public
Relations Officer, Ms. Sigga Jagne, yesterday, Thursday, January 19, 2006,
spoke to the Coordinator of NADD, the Honorable Halifah Sallah, regarding
the current status of NADD’s Flag Bearer selection process.

Honorable Sallah stated that NADD, using the procedures mandated within
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as agreed upon by all the five
political parties comprising NADD, is indeed in the beginning stages of
selecting a Flag Bearer. He reiterated the importance of the stages in the
process of selecting a Flag Bearer and that NADD is going through these
stages as required.

Mr. Sallah categorically reaffirmed that all parties and individuals that
formed the basis of NADD are fully participating in the selection process.
He further reiterated that NADD is strong and intact, as ever, and
continues to maintain a strong support from Gambians on the ground, and
all over the world.

The NADD executive will reconvene to continue the selection process as
mandated in the MOU. An official statement will be released by NADD as
soon as the selection process is finalized and a Flag Bearer is chosen.

The STGDP hereby appeals to all Gambians and friends in and outside Gambia
to continue to support and strengthen our confidence in the democratic
process as manifested by the NADD leadership all these years. We want to
assure all that STGDP will do anything possible to continue to remind the
NADD leadership of the position of Gambians and friends especially those
in the Diaspora.

The STGDP Political Liaison and Public Relations Officer will continue to
communicate with the NADD executive, and share the information garnered
from them with the rest of the Gambians and friends within the Diaspora.

Musa Jeng
Interim Chairman
Save The Gambia Democracy Project (STGDP)
