Nothing but rubbish from you. You are a Johnny Just Come and time will expose your BS. UDP has been at this game since 2001 and they can repeat the stunt for the next thirty and will get the same result. I see you have recovered from Hamat's blitz, to manufacture a spin. UDP is running out of parties for their schemes and after each round the parties change their mind on the UDP. Daffeh, the joke is on you. The reason why you are all over this place is because you and your party are not producing. Gambians are sick and tired of you all's underachieving mentality. Seven months to elections and you cannot get to sit with any of the parties and you see that as great success, reveals your delusional state. Who cares if Hamat drinks tea with Ousainou. What matters is his declaration tells Gambians that he can be a better choice as President over Ousainou. UDP was stunned by Hamat's declaration, but the liar in you come to tell us other wise. Ndokey, come November you will learn that fools should not rush where sober minds pause. Have your day under the sun and clown around. Daffeh it is amazing that you are not even aware that Gambians have given up on you bunch. And this joke that you folks are throwing your weight around on the ground, please share it with foreigners and tourists. Gambians know better.
Ooh the grand strategist have all the answers, so you have to respond for Ansu, lest Ansu speak out of order. Daffeh, you are stuffed with yourself. UDP will suffer their greatest embarrassment come November. With all the murders Yaya committed on Gambians and after looting our coffers empty, not to forget the many disappearances, Ousainou and the UDP will be mopped on the floor. If you aspired to be SOS for Justice under a UDP administration, my advice is for you to hold on to your day job, for you will need it for a long while. I hate to say it, but the best thing that happened to Yaya Jammeh is Ousainou Darbo. You all take ignorance to a new high. Daffeh, please continue to spike your nose. There is nothing that UDP can subject Gambians that what Yaya has already inflicted on Gambians. Boy, you are some outfit. Watch, Gambians both at home and abroad will reject outright you all's ignorance. I now leave you to roam the internet, Grand Master Strategist. BTW were you able to prevail on the UDP regarding STGDP? Personally, I took your offer and will voice it very loud, so who ever UDP is sending through the back door, please take note. You wanted distraction, I will give you plenty of it.

Joe, hold your farts there. There is no problem with other parties i.e PPP, NRP and GMC. Our discussions with them went on well. There is not a single party among them who rejected the notion of a udp alliance. They have some other considerations to take into account and these are mainly about their own affairs, not the udp or the proposed. Even Hamat Bah said he is going to run solo has expressed support for a udp led alliance. He based his decision to go solo on the basis that other opposition parties, not udp, are not sincere on this coalition issue. Hamat is still a good friend of ousainu.
The Gmc has already published a statement of intent to be part of a udp led alliance and I believe once their party leader is on the ground to put that finishing touch on their preparations, things will lift up.
I can't say anything about the PPP for confidentiality reasons.
Thanks
Daffeh

Ansu, for the last three years can you tell your fellow citizens why the opposition politicians could never meet that the rest of Gambia does not already know? I assume you are a UDP supporter, if you claim that you have been wanting to meet with PDOIS and PDOIS does not want to meet with you, how come you have the same problem with PPP, NRP, GMC, GPDP etc.? We keep hearing you folks repeat over and over again about wanting to talk, problem is it is all talk and finger pointing. At a time when Gambians most needed to get the SOB out, your groups continues to thumb their nose of the demands of the voter. I'm not sure how well you folks feel the pulse of the electorate, but participant groups in this disappointment will regret their act in both the short and long run. It is very disappointing that you folks continue with the same sing song as the average Gambian is getting more desperate.

Wht he is emphasing is that the parties should sit a a table together to discuss and try to iron out their differences to try to form the needed coalition. There is nothing wrong with the media reporting information/news that they get from all quarters but they should not be substituted for the behind the scenes negotiations.

It harden position because party militants would have buy into it and for this reason and others, to make our brothers in PDOIS sit with us is an unlikely posibility, hence the bigger division may surface in the Parliamentary elections after the Presidentail because there will be no reason to leave seat uncontested. We're making our beds, all expectations are that we will dive into them.

God willing, I shall dilate on this contention.

If we believe that jammeh should not be the supreme leader of our country, we must expect the same of our other aspiring leaders, they must consent to the will of the people or get push aside... No blind loyalty without results.

As far I am aware, all of the leaders without a doubt know the enormous challenges they are facing. All sides should push for a middle ground, a common consensus on dialogue and accepting facts on the ground. The Gambia is changing fast. With Satellite disk in many households, global events are creating a tremendous awakening. Some are saying, GRTS is hardly watched by those with Satellite, which means, the work is cut out for the opposition if they speak with one voice.

The opposition will continue to lose elections as long as they refuse to make the bold concession- the very thing that the electorate will know can win. The biggest misconception or miscalculation, that somehow just putting up one party against the incumbent will prevent the splitting of the vote and can help the opposition. The opposition will continue to lose elections unless they exploit to the fullest the benefit of coalition of all parties.

Again Gentlemen, the pointing of fingers at each other is the easiest thing to do, of course burying our head in the sand will never help our predicament, and finally coming up with all sort of spinning to suityour own agenda does nothing to a disappointed electorate. The question is as a leader what will you do about it?

Wulli East area has always gone for the incumbent party, since the times of Sainey Singhateh, Malang Saho etc. Wulli West is the more determine and militant region of the two. Suwaibou is well known in that area, I wonder what he should do to penetrate the elders and their local structures. I am sad for him, because he would have been a good MP.
> I wonder whether his campaign team made use of the more active militants in Nyaikoi area. The signs were there that, going for the incumbent is a harden mole in Wulli East, I thought the Agenda 2011 would have dislodged such mindsets. Seriously, I was expecting a narrow marginal win for Suwaibou, but hey next time. I wish him all the best for the upcoming general elections.
