The analysis is flawed, the opposition has done the right thing and this is no time to send a message of defeatism. Elections are only important if Gambians ultimately have a say in who represent them, and I do not know of anyone who even thinks thatnthid  is what we have in the Gambia. We need to take our country back, and create the very environment that Gambia are actually in charge of who represents them. Anything sort of that  is a waste of our time, and allow the kind of  environment of one individual with total control of our country

Owens, I tend to take your line of thinking as far as electoral calculus goes. Plus, the boycot by the significant opposition parties inured the implosions within APRC. I am not interested in the personal gains or losses of Hon. Hamat.

Haruna. Thank you cous Demba for sharing your analysis.

Do not agree with the analysis, I am sure the situation would have been  different if the Opposition had not "boycotted". One has to bear in mind the Independents only came into the scene after realising that the Opposition Parties will not participate. Most of those who voted for the Independent are staunch supporters of the APRC. Another point to mention is that there has been a slight  improvement in the overall turnout from the last NationaL Assembly elections held in 2007.

Hamat Bah has been humiliated again as he lost his dream seat refusing to join his colleagues to boycott the elections.. however, close analysis of the election results could give a different impression...
 
Analysis of the results may show that the opposition could have captured up to 12 seats in the house including opposition independence wins...
 
 
How would you analyse the results??????
 
Thanks

Demba
