UDP the party of the poor and the marginalised. UDP the party of business men/women and every body who loves to do business in the Gambia so as to employ Gambians who have left schools but couldn't find any Jobs to help their aging parents and other members of their respective families. UDP the party of Gambians in the Diaspora and every foreign lover of the Gambia who loves to visit the once smilling coast on tourism. UDP the party of women and children's right and the right of every one wronged unlawfully. UDP the best friend of international community and Gambia's neighbors.Therefore UDP is the party to vote for if you want a better Gambia.

Party
supporters and sympathizers of the opposition United Democratic Party in the
Upper River Region Sunday accorded a rousing welcome to UDP presidential
aspirant, Ousainou Darboe, and his entourage currently holding rallies across
the country, as part of their campaign for the forthcoming presidential
election.
This
reporter touring with the UDP saw party supporters and sympathizers line up the
streets chanting “We need change, not money” as the UDP presidential hopeful
and his delegation entered the region.
“What we
need is change, not money or biscuits,” Alagie Sedia Jatta, UDP chairman in the
village of Numuyel in the Upper River Region, told a huge crowd of supporters,
while assuring the leadership of the UDP that the community of Numuyel and its
surroundings will always rally behind them.
“There is
no freedom and democracy in this country. We the citizens are not treated
equally, and we believe the only man who can treat us equally is Ousainou Darboe,”
he told a cheering crowd.
Yusupha
Hydara, also a UDP supporter in the area, assured the UDP leadership of their
unflinching support, noting that all they want is for Gambians to turn out in
their large numbers and vote for Ousainou Darboe, to rescue The Gambia from
“sinking.”
Speaking
to supporters at rallies held in Bansang, Sutukonding, Darsilameh, Sandu and
Chaw Kunda, Mai Fatty, leader of the opposition Gambia Moral Congress, which is
in alliance with the UDP, hailed communities in the Central and Upper River
regions for realizing what he referred to as the “weakness” of the ruling APRC
party.
Stressing
that the aim of their campaign is to salvage Gambia, come the 24th November
presidential election, Fatty called on party loyalists, sympathizers and
Gambians in general to vote for a UDP-led alliance as it is the only party that
could wipe out their tears.
“Ousainou
Darboe is the man who is ready to uplift Gambians out of poverty, and has mercy
and respect for human dignity,” he said.
According
to him, the struggle for freedom and dignity will continue as long as this
country is in a state of fear.
He
outlined, among others, the need for respect for rule of law, development with
dignity, democracy, good governance, youth employment and agriculture as top
priorities for the UDP.
Noting
that he has trust and confidence in the leadership of the UDP, Mai added that
his party joined the UDP in order to save The Gambia from its current state.
“Gambian
youths are jobless because of the APRC administration. But no matter what,
power belongs to the people and, come 24th November 2011, Gambians will effect
a change because it is time for a change of government,” he told a cheering
crowd.
He called
on regional governors to stop intimidating voters ahead of the polls, noting
that people cannot be forced to vote for a system that has nothing to do with
their welfare.
“Voting
for the APRC will be the greatest mistake Gambians will make, come 24th
November,” he said, adding further that their target as an alliance is to
tackle the problems facing the economy and create a youth entrepreneurship
fund, among others.
Also
speaking at the rally was presidential candidate Ousainou Darboe, leader of the
United Democratic Party, who said the large turnout by his supporters demonstrates
the loyalty and trust the people of the Upper River Region, and Gambians in
general, have in him.
Darboe
refuted allegations that he has agreed with President Jammeh for him (Darboe)
not to contest the presidential polls, describing this as a political tactic by
the APRC.
He
renewed his earlier call for Gambians to vote for him, for the betterment of
their future, noting that his party and those it works with are out to salvage
Gambians.
Darboe
also frowned at comments by the campaign manager of APRC, Lamin Kaba Bajo, that
if anybody failed to vote for the APRC, he or she will be detected by the
biometric machine, saying such comments are intimidating and threatening,
urging Bajo to refrain himself from such comments.
“The
people of Basse like any other community are demanding for a change. The prices
of basic commodities are skyrocketing, coupled with general economic hardship,”
Darboe went on.
He told
the electorate that, if given the mandate to steer the affairs of this country,
he will among others embark on a vigorous reform of the health, education, and
agriculture sectors, and the economy as a whole.
Shingle
Nyassi, UDP National Organizing Secretary, warned that the UDP will not accept
any form of threat from regional governors or security personnel, stressing
that the UDP will never surrender its victory.
Mba
Sillah UDP chairman in Sandu Darsilami assured Darboe of victory in Sandu,
while the UDP chairman in Basse expressed belief that change is possible.
Hon.
Babanding KK Daffeh, UDP National Assembly Member for Kiang Central, said the
24th November polls will decide the future of this country, noting that the
poverty level in the country is at its peak.
