Is it useful debating with you since you provide no reasons but just insults? First of all, indeed UDP as a party should consider the wishes of the people instead of few big headed party supporters,like you said. Secondly what overtures and national interest that is above coalition. The parties are now acting as group of 5 or 6 and such remarks from you without any substance are bound to bring disrepute. After all, the only thing Sidia said was that Ousainou would have been chosen as the flag bearer, in his opinion, since he would have contested against Hamat and Gomez, and he was only answering concerns raised by the attendees and since you have not refute that, what is your problem? So let us agree to disagree and help fund the legal tussles that group faces, rather than be the dividing factor.
