Tombong,

This is culled from Foroyaa, any objections? It says 1056 did not vote in
Kiang.

It's Mose.



The Results
On 31st March 2001, the results of the by elections were declared. In Kiang
East, the total number of votes are 3, 831. 1, 056 voters did not vote. Out
of the 2,775 persons who voted, Mahaw Cham of the APRC had 1, 784 votes or
64.29 percent while Bakary Jarju of the UDP had 991 votes or 35.71 percent.
Out of the 5 polling stations UDP had majority only in Kolior. In Njolofen
where Mr.Hamat Bah campaigned for UDP, APRC had 358 votes while UDP had 40
votes. This is important to note as people suggest alliances between
opposition parties. Is
it alliances alone that will bring victory or campaign issues.?
