Thanks Mr. Bojang. The opposition cannot participate in electoral registration] Lieutenant Kejau.

Its like saying you must not go seek medical assistance at the hospital because there are Newspaper and TV reports of marauding bandits there. If the Carayol elections are ILLEGITIMATE, that has no bearing on the opposition parties conducting registration exercises. Carayol's crimes have no bearing on the rights of citizens to register to vote. Carayol could have a come to Jesus moment and resign or insist on a LEGITIMATE IEC before election day. He could do this the day before elections. It is best if he does it sooner of course. The Opposition could actually boycot the Carayol elections on the eve of such elections. Do you not know anything Kejau???????????????????????????????

[and yet call the outfit that registered them to victory, illegitimate.] Lieutenant Kejau.

You can only obtain victory in elections IN WHICH YOU PARTICIPATED.

[Call them to task now and cry bias and corruption and not independent if they deviate from their raison d'etre, but legitimacy, that will be shooting our own feet.] Lieutenant Kejau.

Taking the Carayol ILLEGITIMATE elections to task is EXACTLY boycotting such connerie of an election. And you have until midnight the day before the elections. I however encourage the opposition to BOYCOT the Carayol ILLEGITIMATE elections SOONER than that because the later they do it, the more they risk some of their supporters voting because the BOYCOT was not communicated to them.

[These arguments lead to issues like whether the opposition should participate in elections, eventually and that is the bone of contention here. What do you think, Mr. Bojang? Should they 'legitimize' the IEC by participating in election under the IEC?] Lieutenant.

I will wait to hear brother Ansumana's opinion and reasoning on this arsenine question. How can you legitimize an ILLEGITIMATE outfit by helping bring it to completion?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It had to be an infantryman.

[Cheers.] Lieutenant.

Whatever men. Some people should not be allowed to study law. I hope you didn't have to pay for tuition out of pocket. UK taxpayers ought to ask for their money back.

Haruna.

My baseline contention is that the current Carayol IEC is illegitimate and Carayol ought to consider resigning and insisting on a representative IEC. However, should his conscience not accomodate such sobriety, I applaud him for efforting to conduct good elections. It will never be good in these circumstances. I encourage all opposition parties, united or not, to boycot the november polls unless a legitimate IEC is constituted.
