UDP led coalition supporters react to boycott

As the UDP led coalition announced its boycott of the upcoming National
Assembly elections, some party supporters have threatened to join the ruling
APRC if the decision is not rescinded. A group of party supporters who spoke
to the Daily Observer on condition of anonymity, said they were disappointed
when they heard the news that the party decided to pull out of the race
slated for January 17 2002. They spoke of their readiness to support and
rally behind the APRC and President Jammeh for the rebuilding of the nation.

One Mr Ceesay who spoke on behalf of the angry supporters, said the party
should have consulted the supporters before taking a decision like that,
“because we are fully prepared for the forthcoming National Assembly
elections.” “So why should the party boycott the elections like that? The
party has no respect for us, that was why they have taken such a bad move
which we are not in line with,” he charged. Mr Ceesay vowed that he and the
rest will support the APRC to the end. Most speakers accused the leadership
of betrayal and disappointment.
