HALIFA ON VOTER APATHY
A journalist working for the BBC Focus on Africa programme, yesterday interviewed Halifa Sallah on the outcome of the presidential election.
Halifa Sallah said, "We are seeing voter apathy. We are gathered to find out what was responsible for that. We have seen that President Jammeh has received over 264,000 votes and the votes of the main opposition candidate who contested the last election is about 104,000 which is a drop from what has been received in the past election from Mr Darboe."
Halifa posited: "We need to get an instrument to prevent voter apathy and to get votes from President Jammeh. Jammeh had managed during his campaign to show that he is a power that cannot be removed. If you look at the campaign, it was an issue of liberation. It is that type of mentality we must remove from the people."
