That is exactly my point. Am not particularly interested to know the individual you will choose in that eventuality but to show that those assign task to select will be as subjective. In the end someone may emerge as the winner but some others who do not have their way will bolt out. They will always find reason to exit. Isn't that not the case for NADD. Am not trying to justify or not why people left - it's human nature we define things as it suit our cause.

A perfect union will not happen. A non partisan person to lead those who sacrifice everything for so long is a little too much to ask these guys. Reconsider that demand. On the other hand why would you choose someone who exclude him/herself. Please read my article 'Selfishness is Human'. Thinking that their is a big common interest that override individual interest is another fundamental mistake we assume. It is only a common interest if it is an aggregate of our individual interests. The Republic and Democratic Governance is a common interest but candidates vying for office is not. There are too many areas we tend to try to run against nature/human nature - no wonder much difficulties.

A transition that you hope will be adhere to is simply an illusion. What if the person go in a different direct and act like or somewhat like Yahya. Don't be surprise some of our colleagues support that U-turn because the system favors their personal interest. But also look around our subregion how have changed laws they first supported. Look at what dictator  Nkrumah  did.

Am not disappointed of the conclusion. I hope it gives readers something to reason. They have known your school of thought because that was the case the last 10 years but mind maybe new to some. What we have in common 'The Republic and Equitable participation in governing (democracy). Any work that will move us close to that will be my fight. Propping someone to the presidency with hopes that s/he will deny him/herself power to introduce people power is just not going to happen.

Anytime you are ready for that broader struggle you can count on my input. Before I support some political party I will form one own.

Please ask others the same question - you will hardly get a straight answer  not because they don't have a choice but because they are sure our choices vary and a source irreconcilable difference.

Burama,
May i say that yuor question is subjective. What is of objective interest in the process for me is the successful implementation of a transition program that would lay the groundwork for open and equal contest to the seat of government. Intuitively, if i would give an answer to your question, my first choice to lead such an alliance should be a non-partisan individual who will preside over the erection of the foundation blocks of democracy in our country. Besides, any other honest and sincere member of the alliance could lead  it through the same transition program.

There is much other details to be attached to this but the essence of the whole thing is just as i mentioned above.
I was a little bit disappointing with our conclusion the other day. I went to bed thinking that our exchange did not yield any fruits. And now i want to ask you this question: Between our two held positions don't you see anyway or possibility to forge a compromise if not a union somewhere in the middle? Please let me know.

Thanks for considering me but I don’t want to join such effort. 

I want parties to forge relationship as they see fit. I don’t think their relationship is one of national interest. Again, am not against it but it will not work. Certainly I prefer anyone of them to Yahya.I also believe none of them will make Gambia a functioning democracy

On the other hand I would like to contribute my part with forces who tailored efforts on ’The Republic to be Govern with Democracy. That’s a more worthwhile fight I would subscribe.

Burama,
Thank you for the good wish. But I will want to solicit your help and support in bringing that alliance in to being. Is that a possibility?

Burama,
There is nothing contradictory in what i have put forward. my take is that with or without reform change is possible through an opposition alliance but with the attainment of reform being the the surest. I hope this is clear. on what reform to pursue, i will take constitutional reform when it is available but personally i am of the view that a number of amendments and t
