A question for political minded folks. I hope the insiders in UDP?NRP and also PDOIS consider answring this questions. For now, let me see how my nephew will respond. 
This was prepared a while ago, although Sidibe's observation made a lot sense, there is a need for further enquiry.
I believe before we are able to engage in any genuine political discussion the question of NADD has to be clearly dealt with and understood. 

Here are some questions I would want answered

1. What is the difference between a merge and a coalition of political parties?
2. What kind of coalition would you like to see in preparation for next elections? 
3. What are you and your party doing in preparation for the coming elections?
4. What did you learn from the “NADD” debate and disagreement?
5. What effect has the NADD discrepancy on your political perception?
6. What consequences would you measure on party leaders involved with NADD? 

7. Can the existing political parties/leaders deliver needed political change? 
8. Do you think the present political leaders overstayed their leadership positions? 
9. Do you think Gambian politics needs new blood, new leaders, new ideas? 
10. How would you rate the credibility of Gambian politics/politicians?

11. What is the political ideology of your party? 
12. What is the ideological difference between your party, APRC and others?
13. Why do you think the voters are voting APRC and not otherwise?
14. What’s more to removing APRC from power, what else is your agenda?

15. What kind of government do you think would better the living-standard of citizens?
16. How would you attain self-sufficiency in food, local industry and increased export? 
17. How and how-much do you intend to spend on, for example infrastructure, education, agriculture, job creation and healthcare if your party is elected?
