                Dearest Gambians,

                The draft we should be making is the one concerned with what we
do if the
                elections are nulled and Jammeh highjack the nation again! Dont
you all see
                that any election here in is like giving a dog a bone! Jammeh
aint   giving
                up his strong hold with respect to the the majority vote!
                While we have the right to dream it will be  a snare of natural
intelegence
                to assume that the trends are suddenly going to turn towards
justice in a
                land so apparently stolen!

                                                 Karl

                >Dear Sir,
                >
                >              We the undersigned, as Gambians living abroad
seeking to
                >exercise our right to participate in choosing our
representatives to public
                >office as guaranteed under the Constitution of The Gambia,
respectfully
                >request your Commission to make arrangements and put in place
mechanisms to
                >make this a reality. We derive our wish to participate in
electing our
                >representatives not only as concerned citizens living abroad
who make
                >substantial financial, social, moral and other contributions to
the
                >development of our country, but also as citizens wishing to
exercise rights
                >guaranteed under the Constitution of The Gambia which is the
fundamental
                >law of the land. Section 26 of the Constitution states:
                >
                >"Every citizen of The Gambia of full age and capacity shall
have the right,
                >without unreasonable restriction -
                >
                >
                >(a) to take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or
through
                >freely chosen representatives;
                >
                >(b) to vote and stand for elections at genuine periodic
elections for
                >public office, which elections shall be by universal and equal
suffrage and
                >be held by secret ballot;
                >
                >(c) to have access, on general terms of equality, to public
service in The
                >Gambia."
                >
                >We believe that it is within your mandate to make the exercise
of our
                >rights a reality as section 141 of the Elections Decree states:
                >
                >"The Independent Electoral commission may make rules for
Gambians in any
                >foreign country to vote in a Presidential election."
                >
                >We therefore respectfully request and urge you and your
Commission to look
                >into ways and means of making our wish to participate in the
election of
                >our public officers a reality. Whilst awaiting your
co-operation and
                >consideration in this issue, we would like to thank you in
advance and
                >extend the best of wishes in the execution of the noble task
you have been
                >entrusted with.
                >
                >
