And who is that Baks Yamba? And how dare you add Nyang to this frigging name of Yamba? Remember you only talk about people here on the L when you sure they are with us so they can afford their right of response.
Uncle, don't tell me your are loosing your eye sight because of old age for you not to see what your King Sering Bamba Mass has shared with us on this merger thing. Am afraid you will loose your position of Sheriff of the L if you confirm my fears.
Stop the squealing my dear uncle. I am one of PDOIS and i am here advocating against such an anti democratic move. We need no merger but an alliance.

Dad Modou Nyang, you're not Baks Yamba sugar neba die by any chance are you???????????????
Secondly, I don't think anyone is talking about a merger. Only PDOIS floated that idea under NADD when PDOIS wanted to subsume the other parties. I haven't heard a more cacamayme idea in my life. If we talk about any merger, it would be either UDP or NRP subsuming PDOIS. This is precisely why I was at pains to distinguish between coalition and alliance because I knew we had impressionable minds here. I was afraid Yero was leaning toward a merger with his push for a UNITED opposition. You can be united in purpose in an ALLIANCE or a COALITION. You do not need a merger for UNITY of PURPOSE.
Now allow me to continue my conversation with Baks Nyang Yamba sugar neba die.

To start with,
there is not argument about the UDP's tally of votes since 1996.
Notwithstanding, however, it is also clear that there is a much larger
number of voters who are have never and is not likely to vote UDP in any
subsequent election in the Gambia. So, Bamba Mass, the talk here is not
about your party's tally of votes in 1996, 2001 and even 2006. What we
are talking about is what formula do we present to the voters to convince them they should vote Jammeh out on November 24.
Having
said that i would want to register my disagreement with the recurring
use of the "merger" by some
people when talking about forming a united front of the opposition
parties. I personally do not think that there is need for a merger of
the opposition parties for them to contest against Jammeh. A merger
could have
been necessary in 2005/2006 as a tactic to preserve the gains that were
being registered then under NADD. We are no more in that situation. What
we need right now is an alliance of opposition parties to help change
the rotten system in Banjul.
How
do we ally to face Jammeh and his APRC after 17 solid years of
consolidating power is the task before us. My party PDOIS has put
forward a set of proposals and it is also necessary for the UDP to so
similar. Whether they put it out for
the general public's view is up to them but they have to put pen to
paper their wish to the other potential partners.
Some silly people can continue with their skewed views of what are international standards of negotiating coalitions/alliances.

I totally agree with suntu, Gambia is bigger than any political party or
individual person and if anyone thinks you can use any medium that has
no value to Gambians to fool people or confuse a few, then you must be
living in a fools paradise. UDP's track records are there in the open to
speak for it and when one looks at the trend of voter percentage, UDP
had more percentage when it stood alone than when it merged with other
parties. Just take a look at the tables below
In 1996 Presidential elections,
Registered

Now look at the percentatge with a UDP-PPP-GPP coalition compared to when UDP has it alone?

Those alledging of a fall in the UDP percentage
have failed to realise that even the APRC with everything at their
disposals vote buyings, intimidations, and cheatings they were never
able to secure more 300,000 Votes in a country of more than 670,336
registered nvoters in the last presidential elections Lets ask our
selves why more than half the voter population want Jammeh out of power?
I BELIEF THE ANSWER MIGHT BE IN A COMPLETE UNITED OPPOSITION
If
now all Gambians want oppositions to come together as one united
front to make such dream a reality, I don't understand why some just
think is either people go with their idea or nothing? It is good for our
country for a united opposition but those fools who think they can
undermine genuine Gambian efforts for the removal of this tyrant
through the ballot box just by zig zagging their turns in confusing
themselves because they cannot fool those Gambians some of us think are
illiterates. Those Gambians are more aware of what they want than we
knew of them. The results will tell . If we want Yahya in power just
because some don't want to see Ousainou Darboe lead a coalition, well
so be it Ousainou has only this elections maybe but a time will come
when someone else's turn will surely emerge and when that time comes we
shall all face it together. Gambia belong to all her citizens and all
voices count. Let that message be clear.
Thanks Bamba.x
