Abdoulie,

According to Halifa Sallah, a coalition of opposition parties
will be considered when a second round of voting is required
in the event of a lack of majority votes, as specified in the constitution.
Opposition alliance is a tactical move to remove an incumbent
President, as was the case with Senegal.He said that during the initial
Voting process all parties would like to test their popularity to determine
their strength and weaknesses.
The issue was raised during the ALD conference in DC last weekend.
Your recommendation of revisiting Dr.Saine's document is positive.

                Ebrima,

                If this comes out to be the case (don't get me wrong - your
sources have
                always proven to be impeccable) it will be a huge leap towards
the salvation
                of our motherland.

                The next best thing to do is to have all the oppostion parties
come together
                under one umbrella to kick these morons out come next election.
Let's just
                hope and pray that the opposition leaders will see the light and
start
                working towards a coalition.

                In as much as we want this "brain impared" moron out, we do not
want to fall
                in the hands of another blood sucker. Gambia deserves better
than thugs
                after all these years of unimaginable social, political and
economic
                misfortune in the midst of terrorism, thugery and blatant lies
from all
                outlets of the government.

                We need to start coercing all opposition leaders to work towards
that
                direction. I suggest we start a petition or some form of a
proposal (we can
                go back to Dr. Saines' material of some time ago) going on to
all opposition
                parties on the ground to consider a strong coalition against
these thugs. I
                know that this is not going to be an easy task for any of them,
but I
                strongly beleive in my heart that the one thing they have in
common - to get
                rid of these pests - can  be a strong starting point from where
they can
                branch out to reach other agreements.

                This good news and many others coming to us from your sources,
proves that
                if we keep the pressure going on, then there is definite hope
for a peaceful
                salvation.

                RISE UP! SPEAK UP! AND LIVE UP!
                THESE PESTS MUST GO!
