Where is Lawyer Darboe? Is he still in the Gambia? If he is in the Gambia and still involve in party politics, I think it would be appropriate for him to unite the opposition behind him, rather than asking the opposition unite under him. As the name indicates, leaders are supposed to lead their followers, not the other way round.
Darboe should come out from hiding and take a stand on the illegalities of the Jammeh regime. UDP supporters are still languishing in illegal detention; I don't hear Darboe take any meaningful action.
I would support this proposal if Darboe take his rightful position.

Bailo raise some good points and i think something can come out of it when given a chance. UDP is the only opposition party that can pull over 100,000 votes .The problem of the last coalition is the issue of leadership and the rules and regulations put in place for the leadership of the coalition. Nadd coordinator was so much concern of after jammeh, rather than tackling the changed the gambian peoples want at that time.You cannot teach the electorates how to choose a good leader or who is good or bad, when the electorate did not believe that change is possible through the ballot.
In my own opinion , i think that any gambian who comes after jammeh ,will be better than Jammeh, so what we need now is just someone who can workout for the change ,by convincing the electorate that change is possible through the ballot.
Gambian oppositions always stand a chance ,if one take a closer look of the number votes the oppositions had and the the number of peoples that refused to vote during the last elections . The target of the next coalitions should be to those peoples who did not want to vote in one way or the other.
I would also like to suggest for the Gambians abroad to consider helping foroyaa with a FM Radio station, so that the opposition can have place to broadcast their meetings.
On campaign style ,lets used the campaign style that gambian electorates known ,house to house ,bantaba to bantaba .I would like to suggest two songs of yusu ndour to be used during campaign periods for the next coalitions,the songs are "JUMM" and "DOLEH". AS we all know that before meetings starts they used to play musics, so this two songs are very good songs and its has a strong message that can counter "AFINJANG".
