The Youth Wing of the United Democratic Party (UDP), led by the national
Organizing Secretary, Mr. Momodou Lamin Nyassi, embarked on a tour of Wuli
East, which wrapped up at Bajakunda, as part of their nationwide
consultation tour in preparation for the upcoming 2011 Presidential
Election.

Most speakers complained about UDP’s failure to put up a candidate in Wuli
East in the past elections and demanded that this issue be addressed. The
APRC won the seat but it would have been different had the UDP contested,
the villagers posited.

The villagers also stated that many voted NADD in the last parliamentary
election because they wanted to avoid a win for the APRC; whilst others
chose not to vote, which worked in favour of the APRC. With a credible
candidate, the UDP could win in Wuli East, the villagers added.

In reply, the National Organising Secretary, Mr. Shyngle Nyassi, informed
the villagers that the UDP is in favour of one opposition candidate in this
upcoming bye-election slated for the 28th April 2011, and that all UDP
supporters should vote for that candidate whoever he/she is and whichever
party he/she belongs to. He added that he will report the villagers’ concern
to the party’s secretariat in Banjul and that all efforts will be made to
address the issue of filling a candidate in Wuli east 'but that will be for
future elections', Mr. Nyassi emphasized

The tour continues in Tumana and Kantora districts.
