Abdoulie, According to Halifa Sallah, a coalition of opposition parties will be considered when a second round of voting is required in the event of a lack of majority votes, as specified in the constitution. Opposition alliance is a tactical move to remove an incumbent President, as was the case with Senegal.He said that during the initial Voting process all parties would like to test their popularity to determine their strength and weaknesses. The issue was raised during the ALD conference in DC last weekend. Your recommendation of revisiting Dr.Saine's document is positive.

The next best thing to do is to have all the oppostion parties come together under one umbrella to kick these morons out come next election. Let's just hope and pray that the opposition leaders will see the light and start working towards a coalition. In as much as we want this "brain impared" moron out, we do not want to fall in the hands of another blood sucker. Gambia deserves better than thugs after all these years of unimaginable social, political and economic misfortune in the midst of terrorism, thugery and blatant lies from all outlets of the government. We need to start coercing all opposition leaders to work towards that direction. I suggest we start a petition or some form of a proposal (we can go back to Dr. Saines' material of some time ago) going on to all opposition parties on the ground to consider a strong coalition against these thugs. I know that this is not going to be an easy task for any of them, but I strongly beleive in my heart that the one thing they have in common - to get rid of these pests - can be a strong starting point from where they can branch out to reach other agreements. This good news and many others coming to us from your sources, proves that if we keep the pressure going on, then there is definite hope for a peaceful salvation. RISE UP! SPEAK UP! AND LIVE UP! THESE PESTS MUST GO! Abdoulie A. Jallow Send money to anyone,via e-mail.
