''We have already reached consensus on mediation efforts and what to
do if the incumbent fails to respond. This is why we were surprised by
the news that the opposition leaders were at each other’s throat at
Raleigh.''- Halifa
I would like to make it categorically clear to all here that the above
statement is inaccurate and misleading. Although the opposition
parties in G6 have reached consensus on the electoral reform agenda,
the G6 does not share PDOIS's notion of what to do to bring about
democratic change if the regime resisted reform.
PDOIS’s position seems to be for all parties to rally behind an
independent candidate. However, no such position was adopted by the G6
neither is there any consensus on the same by the opposition parties
in The Gambia. This is how Halifa articulated PDOIS’s position in his
response to DA Jawo;
‘‘Our (PDOIS) statement is very clear and incapable of distortion. We
indicated that democratic change could come through electoral reform
by restoring the second round of voting and ensuring a level ground
for multi party contest but that if the incumbent resists electoral
reform the Banjul Mayoral election has given us the way out. All
forces should just rally behind one independent candidate to remove
the incumbent and preside over a one term transition.’’
All those who have listened to the party leaders present at the
Raleigh Conference will admit that none have spoken in that kind of
language. The G6’s agenda is only limited to electoral reform and does
not include 'Democratic Change' in the sense of an electoral contest
with the incumbent. I therefore urge Halifa to clarify his statement
and desist from misrepresenting the Agenda of the G6 for his own
selfish purpose.
Thanks
