FOROYAA NEWS;

"Sequel to the close of business at the election process for national assembly membership, the results as lately promulgated by your office are at variance with the support base of my humble self as the independent candidate due to the following reasons all reported to you but no avail for redress.

1. Coercion by the APRC stalwarts throughout the voting process as a masquerade show man brandished himself all throughout the day either scaring or intimidating my supporters.

2. The APRC campaign committee and team never stuck to the dictates of the election code of conduct as they conducted late meetings up to 2:00 AM and used all sorts of profane language and innuendoes on me in particular and my campaign team of youngsters who form the bed rock of hegemony in our abode.

3. The direct interference by the local Government Authorities including the Governor, Deputy and District Chief (Seyfo) to influence the outcome was evidently clear and manifested throughout, in spite of the many protests I made to that effect.

4. The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the blatant usage of some security officers, to be part of the exercise much to the detriment of the process.

In view of the above, I put forward the above underlined caption to you for urgent redress b recalling the said fraudulent elected member for the entire processes to be fairly conduced.

As Janjangbureh is a small entity, this is very feasible to ensure your credibility if you are not to be ridiculed by your detractors.

In anticipation of your prompt action, your co-operation is highly solicited in taking a definitive stance on this to avert the bickering and misconception surrounding your institution since inception. I HOPE THERE IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT HERE

By copies of the memo I am informing all concerted

Sincerely yours
Kebba Yorro Manneh
Independent Candidate
