Karim, thanks for your observation.

Please be informed that the upcoming UDP rally has nothing to do with the
just announced local govt election. The rally to be held in Brikama, has
been planned well before the IEC announce and is just part of UDP's normal
political activities. We intend to hold  many such events in the weeks,
months and years to come. There is certainly no plan so far and I don't
think there will be any, to partake in the upcoming local govt elections.

Kindest regards
Daffeh

just don't know if all about campiagining for Local Government Election. If
they compromise their position about the illegality of the tenure of
IEC Chairman and much needed reform laws governing election am done with
opposition politics in the Gambia. Every election Common Wealth Observer's
will come with their own recommendations but we have parties imaging their
ineffective represent only for the sake of contesting in election without
caring for level playing field. With even Local Government APRC have change
the local government bill to an extend that useless and does not envisage
or  represent local democracy. Everything in the amended Local Government
legislation underminded UNDP reform and funded project of local government
decentralisation which was a grant fund in APRC transition programme.
