Jabou,
There is ceratinly a possibility of vote buying in every voting including upto the UN. In America it is defined as lobbying.
However, I would hate to hear that is what the APRC did. I personally think the oppostion stayed home because they knew Jammeh was going to win. It is also possible some of the voters who stayed home are Jammeh supporters who knew he was going to win anyway so why waste time to vote.
The other aspect of this no one is putting into consideration is it rained heavily in some parts of the country. I remember in Gambia folks used to stay home and not go to work just because it rained.
If I were an oppostion, the one thing I would not have consented to was to have to polls closed that early. They were extended to 6:30 PM. That was still too early. Imagine if they were allowed to close as scheduled at 4:30 PM.
Alieu.

Maybe someone bought their vote and that is why they stayed home. The puzzle
we have to figure out is who engaged in vote buying? The very fact that
Jammeh won everywhere is pretty interesting and could be indicative of other
things aside from all of Gambia just opting to vote overwhelmingly for him.
