>>Friday 10th February 2006
>>  By Pa Modou Faal & O. Kargbo
>>
>>  The respective leaders of the United Democratic Party (UDP) and the 
>> National Reconciliation Party (NRP) have expressed their determination to 
>> form an alliance after breaking away from the almighty opposition 
>> National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD).
>>
>>  Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at the UDP bureau in Banjul, Lawyer 
>> Ousainou Darboe, Secretary General of UDP, said unequivocally that he has 
>> resigned from NADD since 1 February this year and has formally and 
>> explicitly made that known to the Independent Electoral Commission.
>>
>>  &#65533;It is a known fact that on 17 January 2005 the five political 
>> parties signed an MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] at Palm Grove Hotel 
>> and those who signed did it for representing the parties they have been 
>> standing for.&#65533;
>>
>>  He said the MOU provides the continued existence of the parties and they 
>> all agreed that this was necessary so as to unseat the APRC party.Lawyer 
>> Darboe stated that the alliance that was established was later formed 
>> into a political party.
>>
>>  He said after the formation of NADD as a political party there were 
>> several problems that hindered the development of the alliance. 
>> &#65533;In any organisation, there must be trust and mutual understanding 
>> but I have observed in the past few months certain facts of untrust among 
>> certain members,&#65533; he said.
>>
>>  Lawyer Darboe disclosed that upon tendering his resignation to the 
>> executive of NADD, he was advised to keep a tight lip on the issue. 
>> &#65533;I was told by the NADD executive not to make it public,&#65533; 
>> he told journalists at his party bureau.
>>
>>  Darboe said further that preparations are under way for the UDP and NRP 
>> to form an alliance and would invite other interested political parties 
>> in the country to join them.
>>  He stated that UDP would Saturday organize a mass political rally in 
>> Brikama to which Hamat Bah is invited.
