NADD to Announce Flag Bearer Friday 7th October 2005 By Ousman Kargbo Part of the agenda of the National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD) after the recently held by-elections is to come up with a presidential candidate for the 2006 presidential election, NADD’s coordinator, Halifa Sallah, disclosed to the press on Monday at NADD’s Headquarters in Churchill’s Town. “After the by-elections, the agenda of NADD will proceed to be implemented, and one of the agenda is precisely looking at the issue of who will be the flag bearer for NADD,” Mr Sallah explained. According to him, NADD plans to observe a grand commemoration for the seats the alliance has won to coincide with a nationwide launching of NADD after the Ramadan. “We have been having divisional launching. So after the Ramadan, we would be having such a launching (nationwide) and link it to such of a victory commemoration to prepare the ground for the solid consolidation of NADD in Gambian politics,” he added. Mr Sallah commended the Gambian people for their integrity and political maturity by electing people they trust and not to allow their votes to be bought. He said: “Let them [the people] continue with mature politics; let them see that they are the sovereign authority of this land and that their vote is their citizenship power; their vote is their citizenship rights to say how their nation is governed. And they must never allow anybody to seize that right; they must never sell it; they must only entrust it to people who will know that they are public trustees, who should do what the people will and not impose their will on the people.” NADD’s chairman, Hassan Musa Camara, for his part, called on the Gambian people to rally behind NADD, saying that the signs and the writings on the wall are clear for everyone to know that NADD would win the 2006 presidential election. He said the recent by-elections have shown clearly what would befall the APRC come the presidential election. Mr Camara likened the victory of NADD to the starling performance and score line of the Baby Scorpions in their first two matches at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru. “Gambia Vs Brazil 3-1, Gambia Vs Qatar 3-1, and NADD Vs APRC 3-1,” he said dramatically. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
