That information should be for public consumption. I doubt if IEC will release that. You are right. Welcome to the billionaire's club. The cream of the cream |

We need as much details as possible please! Separtion of UDP and NRP by issuing them with individual applications shows disapproval of UDP/NRP alliance. Its effect is to campaign and covince the electorate from UDP and NRP that they are allied and support each other! Whether its going to be effective or not, lets wait and see?
The UDP/NRP is not a party but an ALLIANCE.Therefore, they can both complete nomination forms and one party supports the other and which is what they just did. If they were registered as a party then, they would have all resigned from UDP and NRP and then register a new party which they did not do as in the case of NADD.
There are no legal problems and no confusion. This is in accordance with the ruling of the supreme court. What is happening is that both parties are still registered with the IEC and they are only pulling their resources and support together for the election. The alliance can cease to exist after the elections. Ofcourse on party will emerge as the party of the alliance. |

In his press briefing during the nomination, Darboe said this about the possible reunion with NADD, "UDP/NRP coalition did not rule out any alliance, with any political party. He maintained that anything is possible, saying politics is dynamic". Does he mean that an alliance is still possible even after nominations? Could somebody enlighten me on how this is possible? Did I read too much into his statement?
As far as I am concern, let's pray hard this Ramadan for God to put kindness and good governance in Yayah's arsenal.
Let's gird up for 2011!
Blackerberry2004:
The simple answer is that Ousainou still believes, for some reason, Halifa and NADD will "give up" and rally behind him. This has been Ousainou's mindset/wild wish (fat chance, huh?) from the day he decided to leave NADD. I know this because I asked him a direct question and his response was indicative of this mindset/wish. Absolutely no speculation here.
The Gambia has to take whatever she has on Septemeber 23/24 when the ballots are counted. Whatever any of these candidates say from now on is all propaganda - part of politics as usual. Let no one fool you on that.
Goo day to you. |

Bambalaye; you posted your article after 21.15[UK time] as indicated on my computer. That time is the same as in the Gambia at the moment. The last candidate filed his nomination at the IEC at 2pm. That means everything would have been over by say 3pm because it doesn't take an hour. You posted that article 9hours after nominations were closed. If you care about accuracy as you claimed and if you were not merely greasing up your distortionist machinery, why post that article in the first case. If you care about accuracy, you would have known that that article is not fit for consumption for it has been proved to be deceitful by events at the IEC.
This deception, half-truth and misinformation have being going on for a while and unchallenged but not anymore. Only the truth will survive.
Anyway, have you got any updates on the NRP nomination, sir?

Well, SSDaffeh; since you can't do better than such gastric outburst I will let you deal with Daily Observer and GRTS. They are in a better position to give you an "updates" on the pricklies.
You sound so childish my friend I'm beginning to regret wasting my time here. I should have just ignored your fundament for a better use of my time. How silly! |

Bambalaye,
I don't think it is silly if you posted an article 9 hours after the nomination. In fact you made sure that you knew the outcome of your candidates nomination as you stated here:
On another note, it has been confirmed Hon. Halifa Sallah's nomination by NADD has been accepted without a hitch by the IEC.
You could have used the same source that gave you the news of halifa's nomination to get that of the rest. But instead you decide to use an observer story to insuniate that all might not be well in the UDP/NRP camp. When challenged on this blantant act of trying to start a rumor, you call people silly. Holy pulpit.

Why the piss and hassles? This is an open forum and rumor mongering are useful to generate or reinvigorate lively issues, interests, discussions, validity and veracity of facts! The media was blurred with facts on day one of nominations politically especially from government organs i.e The GRTS Journalists; whose integrity is questioned and speculations etc have now been dsipelled from recent articles above.
Thanks Bambalaye for your contributions and don't felt intimidated from certain bullies! |

You all can say whatever you want to say or insinuate in sullying people's names. What is new from that corner anywyas? Its started with Ousainou himself accusing others of distrust without proving anything close to that which he accused the NADD execs of. So I guess you've all learnt your lessons very well.
I am not going to stoop to these silly bits about time zones etc. I'll let you deal with GRTS and Observer.
Word has it.......fools! Chem!

We read the observer piece and took it for what it is. You on the other hand decided it is time to start insinuation or shal I say rumor mongering/peddling. GRTS and Observer didn't forward that piece here. You did after knowing the facts. Now you start huffing and puffing calling people who took you to task fools. Chem very classic of you.
Open your mind my friend. It is like a parachute. It works best when opened. I have always respected your stance vis-a-vis NADD. The zeal is commendable, but the moment you start using rovian (as In Karl Rove) tactics to start rumors we will challenge you. When did you start relying on the observer and GRTS for objective news anyway? |

How does asking a question about what Observer wrote and GRTS announced tantamount to rumor mongering. On the other hand your idol Ousainou told the whole world there was "mistrust." By whom he never said; by what yardstick he never clarified; what evidence he never gave...now, who is the rumor monger?
Sorry my character is not what is on the chopping block here. Reflect for a moment. Try another route.
On Rove, yeah you wish! I have better tactics - the truth, nothing but. Go ahead try again. |

It tantamounts to rumor mongering because you already knew that wasn't the case as Daffeh made clear for all to see in the time factor. You didn't want to talk about that. You called it silly. When you called to get Halifa's nomination information, you knew then how the whole thingy went. 9 hours after you knew what went down, you decided to post an observer piece that was outdated as far as the events are concerned to start your own devious insinuation. That is the point I am trying to make.
Your character is indeed on the chopping block. As atrios is fond of saying Heh indeedy. |

I really do not have time to beback and forth with you on these trivialties man. Did it occur to you that there is a 7 hour difference between the time zone on this board and where I am? Did it also ooccur to you that Halifa's nomination was THREE GOOD HOURS ahead of the Observer stated NRP scheduled nomination at 1300 hrs GMT?
You and Daffeh can both shrink inyour skunk...I don't have time for this...Chem! How silly! |
