I agree. The problem now is a window to make the guys talk. They can strengthen each other in many ways. As far I am aware, all of the leaders without a doubt know the enormous challenges they are facing. All sides should push for a middle ground, a common consensus on dialogue and accepting facts on the ground. The Gambia is changing fast. With Satellite disk in many households, global events are creating a tremendous awakening. Some are saying, GRTS is hardly watched by those with Satellite, which means, the work is cut out for the opposition if they speak with one voice.
Let us all continue creating the environment in ending suspicion and hostility.

It is indeed another disappointing result, but no surprises as long as we stick to the same strategy. The opposition will continue to lose elections as long as they refuse to make the bold concession- the very thing that the electorate will know can win. The biggest misconception or miscalculation, that somehow just putting up one party against the incumbent will prevent the splitting of the vote and can help the opposition. The opposition will continue to lose elections unless they exploit to the fullest the benefit of coalition of all parties.

I am absolutely confident that if the entire opposition leadership spent two days in Wuli, and I am talking about Hamat, Sedfia, Halifa, OJ and Ousainou, and speak directly to the people of Wuli why they should vote for the opposition and not the incumbent, the results will be completely different.

It is sad that even as we see the train wreck fast approaching, we will rather wait for our demise than do something about it. If this is not insanity – I am afraid to see the real insanity. Again Gentlemen, the pointing of fingers at each other is the easiest thing to do,  of course burying our head in the sand will never help our predicament, and finally coming up with all sort of spinning to suityour own agenda does nothing to a disappointed electorate. The question is as a leader what will you do about it?

This is a disappointing news for our area people. Wulli East area has always gone for the incumbent party, since the times of Sainey Singhateh, Malang Saho etc. Wulli West is the more determine and militant region of the two. Suwaibou is well known in that area, I wonder what he should do to penetrate the elders and their local structures. I am sad for him, because he would have been a good MP.
I wonder whether his campaign team made use of the more active militants in Nyaikoi area. The signs were there that, going for the incumbent is a harden mole in Wulli East, I thought the Agenda 2011 would have dislodged such mindsets. Seriously, I was expecting a narrow marginal win for Suwaibou, but hey next time. I wish him all the best for the upcoming general elections.
