Yesterday's result is an eye opener to the Entire Opposition. If the Opposition Candidate cannot capture this seat then questions  must be asked whether they stand any chance come 24 November 2011

Haruna, apparently their candidate, Suwaibou Touray, was the problem. He is apparently full of it, that PDOIS stuff; elitism, self perfection and arrogance

Thank you Demba for sharing. Very sad indeed if unofficial results become the official results and PDOIS/Nadd loses the Wulli East National Assembly By-Election. The seat is uncomforbly close to the PDOIS stronghold of Wulli West and indeed prior to fragmentation, used to be part of the Wulli Constituency, a historically PDOIS stronghold.

PDOIS must reconnoitre and take stock. Politics is as dynamic as the peoples' lives. A political party is sustained by adapting to this dynamism. You cannot be a viable political party if you do not nurture a healthy sense of dynamic politic. If you fail to make significant inroads into the peoples' grace, people you aim to represent in governance, you must conduct a serious inventory of both structure and mission and if necessary, you must reorganize to make way for a more effective conveyance of the peoples' desires and anxieties.

The Wulli East results have demonstrated once again the peoples' affinity for PDOIS/Nadd when placed against APRC. This, even as the other opposition parties encourage their supporters to vote for the PDOIS/Nadd candidate. 

I therefore recommend that if a significant opposition alliance is not to be realized, that PDOIS/Nadd refrain from putting up candidates of its own and encourage its supporters throughout the country to vote for other opposition candidates. I also encourage UDP, NRP, and GMC to actively invite PDOIS/Nadd to campaign for them by presenting them with an adhoc campaign budget and plan.

I still submit that an alliance/s from any of the following SIGNIFICANT permutations (in order of significance) is possible and must be seriously explored: These suggestions recognize the effective withdrawal of NDAM from Nadd and therefore obviate Nadd.

1. UDP-NRP-PDOIS-GMC-ppp

2. UDP-NRP-GMC-ppp
3. UDP-NRP-GMC


4. UDP-PDOIS-GMC-ppp
5. UDP-PDOIS-GMC
6. UDP-PDOIS & NRP-GMC simultaneously
7. NRP-PDOIS-GMC-ppp
8. NRP-PDOIS-GMC & UDP-ppp simultaneously

You will recognize that there are very many other permutations I have omitted. That is because they are not valuable even to the casual observer. Try-them and consider them seriously. Their entertainment tantamounts to reductio ad absurdum.

Haruna. Thank you again Demba for sharing the news of the Wulli East By-election. We look ahead to the Kombo East By-election and I hope my suggestions will be taken into advisement.
