        Subject:        Gambian Elected to his local City Council in Finland

        It is interesting what democracy could bring.
        Bakary Simon Bojang originally from the Gambia and been in Finland
since 1989
        has won a City council election and will be serving his city
Lappeenranta for
        a four year term.
        For those who might not know Baks, he is a dormant member of this
forum. He
        was born in Brikama and left the Gambia like most of us for greener
pastures
        and have always been interested in politics. He has been a member of
the City
        of Lappeenranta cultural affairs committee board and second member
of the
        city council. He will be taking his new position on November 1st.
        Bakary, I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Remember to put
the
        interest of your people first. My best regards to you and your
family.

        Ousman Bojang.
