Ok, Mr UDP, i did recall very clearly when PDOIS held it's congress in 2010 at the Atlantic Hotel. And i did also recall that PDOIS had a congress in 2001 (not 2000 as Mr UDP is saying) in Taibatu, Wuli. Not only that, i also recalled other congresses in 1997, 1998, (need verification for 1999 and 2000). 
mR. UDP Daffeh, i also recalled that it was at the Wuli congress in 2001 as we we preparing for the presidential election, that a resolution was passed to shift the congresses from a yearly basis to every four years due to the high cost involved in organising them. 

Hence UDP Daffeh, you might wish to remind us how many times you held a congress since your inception in 1996? And how about RAMBO'S Youth President's portfolio? Are you considering a mini congress to elect a replacement? How about Falai? You might also consider tabling his concerns and to also offer the other members to share their views on his membership status. 

You will also do us good in helping us "recall" some of these issues too.

Folks,

If you could recall sometime last year, the PDOIS party convened a congress at the Atlantic Hotel in Banjul but and for unexplained reasons, failed to elect a new executive and leader or renew the mandate of the existing ones. However, they have promised to convene another congress this year, 2011, to review and elect a new leadership. The 2011 election is now not more than six months away and yet no word has being said or heard about PDOIS’s pending leadership election.

If PDOIS is to be taken seriously on democracy and their mantra of ''Soveriegnty of the People'', I think it is absolutely imperative that its oligarchs are seen not only adhering to but also projecting democracy and democratic principles through their very own internal politics.

My question now is; is the PDOIS party ever going to convene anther congress this year, before the 2011 election, to elect a leader? Or is it going to be another ''Destiny has called on me to lead?''

The last time PDOIS conducted leadership election was in 2000 in the village of Wuli Taibatu, Upper River Region.

Thanks
Daffeh
