As expected the ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) has nominated incumbent president Yahya Jammeh tostand as its candidate. Prominent attorney Ousainou Darboe is the nominee of the alliance between the United Democratic Party (UDP) and the National Reconciliation Party (NRP). National Assembly Member Halifa Sallah will run as the candidate of the National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD). The three candidates filed their nominations on August 28 (Ref A) before the Chairman of the IEC amid great fanfare and media coverage. Many thousands of the candidates' supporters crowded the streets around the IEC office in impromptu rallies that included drumming and dancing. A fourth candidate, Henry Gomez of the Gambia Party for Democracy and Progress (GPDP), also sought to run in the presidential race, but his candidacy was rejected because he did not meet the residency requirements. Gomez and his party have since aligned themselves with Darboe's UDP/NRP alliance. Read more -- ***************************************************************************** GOD BLESS THE GAMBIA.
