Nyang,
You have added no value here but nonsense upon silt. The issue was about
electing party officials/leadership and that is what you quoted me as
saying in your headline. Check your post again, kid.
Almost all the events you described as pdois party congresses involved no
leadership election and therefore render no legitimacy to your party's
leadership and that is the crunchy nuts here. You did not denied this
because it is an irrefutable fact. You also did not deny the fact that
PDois conducted only one leadership election since the birth of the second
republic and this was 12yrs ago in Wuli Taibatou because that too is
incontrovertible. The UDP conducted two, the last one been only 3yrs ago.
You have already conceded that and therefore nothing in contention there.
In a democracy, mandates normally last for only five years, not 12 and that
makes people wonder whether Halifa has any legitimacy to continue serving
as the secretary general and spokesperson of pdois without submitting
himself for re-election especially given that there are no extraneous
reasons for his default.
It doesn't matter how you described what happened in brikama or Jarra Soma.
The fact remains that it was the ordinary folks who took charge and select
the leader and party officials of the UDP at these congresses in accordance
with their own Sovereign and unfettered will. Isn't that what democracy is
all about?????? To sum it up: the UDP leadership leads according to mandate
while Halifa leads on the basis of a self proclaimed destiny.
I have made no mention of 2008 for no UDP congress was held in this year.
It must be your dementia that is kicking off there again hence your mixing
of apples and bitter lemons.
By the ways; well done for double checking the facts with the Daily News
which corroborates my narration and exposes the real lie been confirmed. It
also shows that I know my facts whereas you only have Halifa's sermons to
cling on.
I will still excuse your insults for I understand this is only because you
are inept and lacks a better explanation for Halifa sheer propensity to
deceive and manipulate. Or shall I put it down to your dementia???
There is no doubt you are writing with a disturb mind and that is palpably
obvious to all here. I shall add no further injury to this self inflicted
suffering of yours.
Kindest regards,kid.

> You said you did not talk about a “tradition of holding congresses” but
that of “electing party officials,” Mr. Daffeh, no amount of semantics or
word manipulation will save you from your lie that “the UDP is the only
party in The Gambia with a tradition of periodically electing party
officials.” Is holding a congress in a 13 year time span periodic? By the
way, in order to ensure I was not mistaken of the year of the first UDP
congress even though I know the time period, I relied on this Daily News
report of the 2010 (thanks for correcting me on this one, it was an
oversight). Even if your 2008 date stands, my question is still legit. What
is periodic in that and what officials were elected? What happened in Jarra
Soma in 2010 was a mere shuffling of people around some portfolios.
