G_L: Although the opposition recently got whipped by Yahya Jammeh, that is not and should not be the end of our quest for a better govern Gambia. I want to inform the opposition parties that YAHYA DID NOT WIN THE ELECTIONS, THE OPPOSITION PARTIES GAVE THE PRESIDENCY TO Yahya Jammeh. How? By ignoring the calls for one united opposition, they assured Yahya another five years at state house. Moving forward. We hope this painful lesson will be referred to in future political decisions. One disappointing trend we saw during the campaign was some opposition parties attacking other opposition parties. One of the ways can try to keep Yahya honest is by denying his party the house of parliament. Filling the house of parliament will opposition members will enable us to curb Yahya’s excesses, allow us to investigate acts of corruption, murder, illegal incarceration and human rights violations. Opposing parties are aware of this fact. We will plea with them again to UNITE as ONE and contest the parliament elections. This is not quitting time, but the time to regroup and fight another day(February). I will write another petition for one opposition and hope that our leaders will take their newly found wisdom and do the wise thing. We got knocked out in the fifth round of a ten round bout. We can lay on the canvass or get up and finish the fight to a draw.
