Thanx Suntou for sharing. I commend the APRC for this due-diligence. The APRC doesn't need these idiots anyway. They cannot even comprehend the idea of INDEPENDENT candidate. For every idiot, there's a sober Gambian who'll do right. As there is nothing like Independent APRC Party Candidates (you are either an APRC Candidate or an opposition), the National Party leader and Secretary General wishes to inform the Party supporters and the general public at large, that the following APRC Party members contesting as Independent Candidates in the upcoming Parliamentary election slated for March 29th, 2012 are hereby being expelled from the Party with immediate effect: Haruna. -----Original Message----- From: suntou touray <[log in to unmask]> To: GAMBIA-L <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wed, Mar 14, 2012 11:47 am Subject: [G_L] The Proffessor Jammeh gone Bunkers.. 26 APRC Members Expel http://observer.gm/africa/gambia/article/26-expelled-from-aprc The ruling Alliance for Patriotic Re-orientation and Construction (APRC) have expelled 26 of its membersfor ‘violating the rules and regulations’ of the party with effect from yesterday , March 12th, 2012.

This action violates the APRC Party rules and regulations. As there is nothing like Independent APRC Party Candidates (you are either an APRC Candidate or an opposition), the National Party leader and Secretary General wishes to inform the Party supporters and the general public at large, that the following APRC Party members contesting as Independent Candidates in the upcoming Parliamentary election slated for March 29th, 2012 are hereby being expelled from the Party with immediate effect: NameConstituencyRegion Baboucarr Mbye Manneh: Banjul South Banjul HAdijatou Forbes Banjul Central Banjul Momodou I Cham Jeshwang KMC Abdou Sanneh Foni Jarrol WCR Ousman Nyassy Foni Bondali WCR Pa Modou Njie Upper Niumi NBR Alkali Sallah Jarra LRR Kebba Yero Manneh Janjanbureh CRR Omar ThropLower Fulladu West CRR Muhammed TamnuraLower Fulladu West CRR Muhammed Magassy Basse URR Demba Sambou Niami CRR APRC supporters are being reminded that voting for any Independent APRC candidate is the same as voting for the opposition and it will be a great disappointment to themselves, after having massively voted for His Excellency The President at the recently concluded Presidential elections, to vote for the opposition or an Independent Candidate who would not be able to bring any meaningful development to their constituencies as a member of Parliament. The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is being notified of this new development and is requested to de-register or disqualify any Independent Candidate under the banner of the APRC Party. These candidates are barred from using APRC colour, symbols or materials, of His Excellency The President’s name anywhere, anytime. By the same token, the Party warns its esteemed loyal members and supporters to desist from associating themselves with these candidates especially during the campaign period. The APRC Regional Structures are requested to monitor the APRC militants who follow and support these Independent Candidates and report them to the Party Secretariat for appropriate action, which may include expulsion. Based on the above, the security forces should arrest and prosecute any Independent candidate who uses APRC colour orsymbol or the name of the APRC Party during the campaign and election period. Furthermore, in a bid to cleanse the Party off “sheep’s in wolves’ clothing”, and those whose actions are detrimental to the interest and advancement of the APRC, the following individuals have been expelled from the Party with effect from today Monday 12th March 2012.
