Lamin   Thank you very much for your contribution. More than 141 387 Gambians voted for him and because of this do you you not think he should not have ran away as he has a duty to defend the voices of the 14187 Gambian voters who voted for him. Can you please explain what the Gambian constitution expects of a leader.   Please explain further if he had assess the risk involved in running for President. Do you think he regret his actions of 1996? Was it cowardice or was it a tactical move?   Some are now judging him to the valour and courage shown by Halifa Sallah and Sedia Jatta in 1994 and Halifa Sallah in 2009.   Is Darboe fit to lead the UDP after running away and leaving his supporters behind?   Please do not judge Darboe, Remember to contribute in as much as he is politician he is also a father but so was Sedia Jatta when he took on Jammeh in 1994   However did Darboe act as Muslim who just made a hejira twice to the High commission and then back from the High commission?
