I think it is not an issue others who think they can make a living in
the parliament wanting to go independent. This is absolutely not a
problem. What is relevant is that, the political parties with cloud
work together to make their action count. Even if Jammeh want to
sponsor independent candidates to make it look fair, by allowing them
to win or go unoppose cannot deceive the global community.
The Gambia cannot operate without the international's community due
recognition. He wants to go begging now. A credible action plan will
make his efforts difficult and that is the basis of a boycott. Let us
join hand to make the tyrant uncomfortable like he is making many
brothers uncomfortable in prisons and by sackings. Let there be 48
independent MPs, the registered opposition still has the
respectability by virtue of continous existence and contact with
different important bodies.

Let us now be genuine part players, not bystanders and watching things
falling apart.
