| This is really really sad!! I can't help but bow down my head in shame. Did you realise that with the 42 constituencies counted so far, Jammeh is averaging a little over 80% of the votes. I am just staring at the computer screen, hoping that this is just another bad dream, that am actually still snoring in bed. By the way, where are the famous statisticians with their number politics(i mean Darboe, Bah and Nyamato Daffeh and their like). With the result so far declared, it seems like you would need more than 80% of the votes. What happen to the 5% you need to enthrone the royal king of DOBO. It is time the whimpish Darboe get out of our politics for good and let those with balls lead the race. He had wrecked the coalition of the willing beyond repair with his devisive, tribalist, selfish, cowardly and arrogant attitude for too long. I just hope the opposition recover from this mess before the national assembly elections. |

| The old man I was sitting with listening to the election results finally cried, because he said that these figures are not the one representing the electorates but Jammeh's Angels. Anyway, elections are like that, we gotta to have a winner and losers. Shaka am waiting for Daffeh's comment, I only hope that he will accept the results and repent on his comments and statistical analysis. I am pretty sure that the opposition will have something to say against the results. But that is like what the mandinkas say EEH BUKA MBERRI BOI DAA KESENG. Excuses or complaints will be emerging. |

| Bro Ebra, only a fool will come up with an excuse after this result. We are not talking about a 30% lead or even even 50% but a disgraceful 80% lead. It will take nearly all the "elligible" voter population of Casamance to account for this, if the mind slightly wonders to illegal cross border votes. Which is simply impossible. This simply a backlash aimed at the opposition for failing to unite, most especially UDP supporter. The masses have came to realise the true colours of Ousainou Darboe and the bunch of clown that were willing him, and have mercilessly rejcted him. Can you compare over 40% the man has achieved in the last elections(under a UDP ticket alone) to the paltry 16% or less they will get this year as a "grand" alliance. The statistics is just staggering. Yeah, i also wonder what picture Nyamato Daffeh is going to paint this time from this statistics. |

Shaka,
Don't blame the politicians. If this results are certified free and fair, the Gambian electorate should be respected for their decision. Whether you like it or not. Passing aspersions on people who disagree with you and making it look like it was the reason behind the defeat is to say the least disingenous. What we've seen from the results is a total disregard for all the opposition figures and your guess is as good as mine as to the reason behind this. They have not only rejected Ousainou Darbo but Halifa Sallah as well. |

You are very right bro bronx,
Daniel has come to judgement.Gambians have spoken despite all the hauling and shouting we did ,they eventually laughed at us and showed us if we think they are selfish and foolish like us,we shall see at elections and indeed we have seen it with wide open eyes.There is no tribalism or favouritism here,Gambians have seen the true colours of our leaders and have rejected them out right.
No vote rigging or cassamance vote here.Dr.Jammeh has won fair and squire with an overwelming majority he had never got since he became president in 1994. |

| My brother Bronx, you are right, Halifa was rejected by the poeple in general. However, the statistics tell another story, that Sallah's popularity is increasing rapidly where as Darboe's has dwindled beyond recognition. The past statistics will tell you that Halifa's support(as at PDOIS ) was srongest, in the Serekundas and the Wullis and this year's statistics proved an increasing popularity in those areas. He gave Jammeh the run for his money in those places were as Darboe had lost popularity in all his stongholds so far, except one, which is Jarra West. This is an absolute sham. You don't even have to look at Hamat's former strongholds to see the picture. They are both spent forces. The Gambian masses have came to realise that they are both not worthy of the executive office because they are devise liars who tried to pull the wool over Gambian people's eyes with such stupid promises like "we will sort out the power problem because we have signed contract with certain european electricity firms" "we will establish visa offices to send the youths to babylon" "We have signed contracts with Swiss firms to buy farmers' nuts" "We will establish youth service shemes(after the failure and shambles called the NYSS". What kind of stupid stunt were these, help me out Mr Bronx. Do they think people are that stupid not to see those blatant lies. Who gave them permission to sign contract on behalf of the Gambian people. They were caught pants down with "dingalings" hanging in broad daylight. Halifa Sallah might have been rejected but he can still hold his head up high walking down the streets of the Gambia. He never promise the impossible. He genuinely asked for their votes in return for practical ideas and projects for the betterment of the Gambia people. |

Brother shaka,
Both Halifa and Darboe had lost their support bases .This has shown most of you people's low forshightness.Halifa lost in both serekundas and wuli while Ousainou lost in Bakau,Jara west& east kiang west where he had never lost b4.There is no discrimination in this as most of you shamelessly would want to portray putting all the blame opon Darboe's head?No they are both to blame as I have always said.If Darboe refused to Join,whynot Halifa do otherwise?There was greedwithin both camps and the Gambian people have shown them their true colours.We are all ashamed together.We in nadd have to realise this fact.
You cannot blame the goose and leave the gander they are all to be roasted.You have to remember that Darboe doesnot Make decisions alone.He is with his top officials,likewise Halifa.So unless all Gambians organise a very no compromise meating of the two groups and tell them the truth,we will always return to today's results as the poor Gambians are thankful to God despite continious lies and the twist and turn of these self centered oppositions who the people watch closely.
"The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know expacially an unleliable devil"
These are words of people who were diehard opposition and many promised to vote for APRC and am sure they did.
More surprises awaits them at the parliamentary elections.
Peace

Bro Janfayaa, i can understand your anger towards the opposition but please don't let this frustration blind you from the facts. Halifa Sallah have never stood as a presidential elections and PDOIS never won an election in both the Wullis and the Serekundas at presidential level. Halifa had however won election in Serekunda and Sidia in Wulli at parliamentary level. Compared to previous presidential(emphasising) election Halifa has increased his support base in both the Wullis and Serekundas according to the statistic. This is what i am to say. Never said that Halifa won in those area.
Regarding who pulled out of the coalition and who refused to join who is not an issue with me. I elect my leaders based on principle. The coalition was formed based on principles embedded in the NADD MOU, which all parties deemed fair and workable, and therefore unanimously signed by all parties. Mr Sallah chose to stick with the principle while darboe and co elected to opt out for their own selfish reasons. If you ask me had, Hadlifa had joined Darboe against his principle, would i still vote for them? Never in a million years. I rather have a leader with principles and direction than a headless chicken. |

Yes bro shaka,
(1)May I ask do you think Darboe left NADD because Halifa was poist to become leader instead of Him?
(2)Was darboe's departure not forseen by members of NADD when there was confrontational behaviours between Uncle waa,OJ on one hand and Dembo,Amadou sanneh,Dr.Yaya Jallow on the other hand also with Hamat Bah accusing OJ of stealing his members to vie for his OJ's leadership without his concent.
(3) what was Halifa and Ousainou's role in all these fracas?
Bro shaka,I am not angry or dissappointed about this whole situation.I just felt sad for those poor opposition symphatisers who have suffered torture in all forms in their names while they only think of Statehouse forgetting the victims of greed.
I am no more an active politician because of my studdies but even if I am,I was not openly campaign 4 I campaign for the Gambians and now that Gambians have chosen Dr.Jammeh,who am I to say they have made a wrong choise?I respect their opinion and I congradulate President elect to respect the wishes of the people.
peace

| I just believe the electorate have spoken. They prefer the status quo to change. I am not willing to put the blame on this person or the other. So bro Shaka, you go ahead and place all the blame you can on whomever you wish. Guess what? It didn't make a difference before the elections and it ain't gonna make any difference now. |

You should all recognised the swing votes have great impact on these results. Lessons were supposed to be learnt from the bye-elections as litmus tests for break-ups and total disarray of the opposition parties that agreed to form a strategic alliaince. Many of their supporters expressed dissapointments and their frustrations not seeing what they want and expected from them. Those protests votes were voluntarily handed over to APRC chracterised by the massive defections!
Let new generations of politicians learn and prepare to face challenges for a proper democracy to be nurtured and developed from strength to strength. Note it is incumbent on all Gambians to participate in national development and consolidate the positive achievements as progressive citizens. Now I would propose and challenge you through this forum to focus our next agenda to support our democratically elected government on face value for promotion of:
Education
Poverty and Economic Development
Cooperation and Patriotism
Industry, Employment and Consolidation of Youth Programmes under all party manifestos,
Our first National Bill of Rights
Truth, Reconciliation, Development and National Unity.
Congrats to APRC and a HAPPY NEW ERA! |
