Gassama and Essa Sey, because these elections are so insignificant, I would
NOT get into the forensics of the numbers.  The truth of the matter is, less
than 20% of the electorate participated in the elections.  You cannot run
away from that.  Essa Sey, if you think that I am pinning my hopes on Halifa
Sallah to be effective in Parliament, you must be on something that is bad
for your state of mind.  Can’t you read and understand English?

The boycott was a resounding success.  More than 80% of the electorate did
NOT vote.  From Ebrima Sillah’s posting, the only Independent candidate we
saw was a disgruntled APRC member.  So, Halifa Sallah’s malicious calls for
UDP stalwarts to defect and stand as independent candidates was NOT heeded
by the UDP membership.

Gassama, I am NOT hoping for any particular form of protesting against the
Dictatorship.  APRC will push the Opposition to the corner.  When that
happens, you know exactly who to blame.
