Darboe confident of capturing URD

The flag bearer and leader of the coalition, Ousainou Darboe held rallies in
Allunhari and Kanyibeh in the URD on Wednesday October 10, attended by a
large number of supporters.

Addressing supporters in Allunhari, Darboe said his party had the total
support of the people. “Before the overthrow of the constitutional
government of PPP, there was no travel visa between The Gambia and the
European countries but Jammeh’s government brought about that,” Darbo
alleged.

Mr Darboe also alleged that on September 1, The Gambia should have joined
other African countries to promote tourism for this year’s tourist season in
Britain but was not given the greenlight by the British. Dilating on the
weak relationship with Britain, Darboe said this could have great impact on
our socio- economic development.

He alleged that President Jammeh was to travel to London to attend the
meeting of the Commonwealth countries but the British refused to grant him
security. He vowed that if the coalition was voted into office, Gambians
would travel to all European countries without visa. He urged the people of
Allunhari not to use the money given to them by President Jammeh for the
construction of their central mosque.

Other speakers included Alhajie Dembo Tunkara, Alhaji Kaw Sillah, Aja
Kujarju krubally and Alhaji Sankareh, youth leader. It was reported that 315
people defected to the UDP. At Kanyibeh, Mr Darboe told the people that
Jammeh was ruling for his own interest. He said farmers had suffered much
under Jammeh's rule as their groundnut were not bought for the past three
years. The entourage also held similar rallies in Bantanto and Sare Bojo.”
