Hello Ceesay,
I support the idea in the letter for, in this way,the thousands of Gambians
abroad, who wish to do so,can exercise their right to vote.
It will be wise I think, to consider Sauls proposal of involving Gambians in
Europe too.
I hope The APRC, PDOIS, and the other parties, will put their weight behind
this.
Alaji.
