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.
