Since I am not a subscribing member of UDP I would not try to tell them how
they should run their party but I am of the opinion that after losing two
general elections Darboe should call for a congress and change of
leadership.

That in itself is what would make Gambia and the UDP a true democracy.
Darboe would have assume a special place in Gambian history as not only the
first opposition leader who conceded to election defeat (by congratulating
the winner) but also as one who had the vision and courage to allow someone
else lead to keep the fight alive. Such a move would allow him to focus his
energy an expertise in other areas of party administration e.g. public
defender. In fact the past 7 year had demonstrated that Darboe's is more of
a public defender than a politician.
My advice to him is it is better later than never.
