Fatoumata, I agree and disagree with your views. I disagree in the sense that rule of law in Gambia is not a reality. There cannot be rule of law if regime is reguarly inteterference of the judiciary. There are numerous cases such as the sacking of magistrates, high court judges, electoral commissioners,violation of court orders etc. Rule of law under APRC regime is a mockery. You mentioned that NADD lost the case because of technical ground but the deficit of the 1997 constitution is the removal of the provision for cases like this nature to be take to privy council. The statutory code of our country is English law and every member of the Common Wealth respect the Harare declaration-rule of law, respect of human rights, free press and multiparty democracy. Machinery lawyers and Judges in our country todays have serious implication to pattern for democracy.

If i may ask wheather you are a patriotic Gambian. If you think you are discrediting NADD to gain favours from Jammeh, believe me you must be fooling yourself. We've all seen and heard whats happening in the Gambian. NADD is being clear and the supreme court ruling was based on techicalities. If you have been following the proceedings, NADD and the IEC all stood on the same basis during the hearing and the judges deciced against their favours. i would not have anything to say to the judges because we need to accept their rulings for the sake of the Rule of Law but that doesn't have any bearing on the fact that NADD is illegitimate. The members of NADD didn't say much unlike when Darboe and co were aqutted by the court, your master went on national television to comment on the case. Would you have the guts to support him. But no wonder, they say birds of the same feather floops together. The thing you need to ask yourself is why was the constitution change so that there would be a
second round of voting if any party don't have an outright 50% of votes.
If you look at africa, most of their constitution is design in that way. About alliance. it has removed many leaders esp. in senegal and kenya. P

NADD is an institutionalized faction of the desperate that seeks power through political intrigue. It is not a legitimate political party that has a manifest agenda to promote the welfare of the people according to the Gambian constitution. Legitimate political parties are end products ( not means like NADD) of an evolutionary developmental process. NADD as a faction lacks a clear, coherent, orderly and stable party manifesto/constitution nor any durable ideology that shall last from issue to issue or election to election. It is a marriage of convenience based on the presumption of a postponed intra-party competition. Such an unstable political entity can easily become a harbinger of divisiveness that corrupts the natural peace and stability of the Gambia. This picture becomes more horrifying considering the fact that the UDP, the dominant group amongst NADD, plays a shadow politics of Mandinka tribalism as reflected in its constant claim of about 40% electoral votes-
congruent to the Mandinka population of the Gambia.
The Gambian constitution does not guarantee a free and fair election between a legitimate political party and a political faction of convenience whose purpose is nothing but a well calculated subterfuge against the political establishment by other means short of physical violence. The APRC and Yaya Jammeh should never tolerate such a scam against its own interests and The Gambia.

To hell with your illusive back door legal analysis. It is unfortunate our country is sold to mercenary judges whose mission is to strengthen the hand of the devil for the interst of their pocket. You must be mad but any human being whose brain is function knows about the deficit of the legal judgement. It is unfortunate privy council provision is not include in the 1997 constitution like that of the 1970. Then it will be a different story. I don't know that you are blind cause you have seen numerous violation of the constitution and the manipulation of the judiciary under Jammeh's dictatorship.

I know that the APRC is looking into the legal issues whilst you fools are on a denial mode. Just watch what is going to happen to this "party" soon. Ooh please do not go on another bitching spree when reality hits again.
