To put things in proper perspective, in the last
National Assembly Elections, UDP  polled 1412 votes in
Kiang East while the APRC got 1377 votes. The
difference was only 35 votes.
In cental Baddibu the UDP got 3192 votes in 1997 while
APRC polled 2298 votes. The difference was 894 votes
in favour of the UDP.

I should have send the results earlier but because i
was so busy that i could not do it on time...but all
the same i hope the results will be of some little
benefit to you. The pattern of voting in the
by-election is food for thought and i can't agree with
Saul more that the APRC has gained considerable
grounds in both constituencies than the UDP.

E Sillah.
