I can answer this question very quickly by quoting an English saying :
"A week is a long time in politics"
I have posted the Foroyaa article first as its totally about Gambia the second posting relates to the quotation above very similar problems were happening in years gone by in the UK,have a read,what goes around comes around in different times and places.
======================================================================
QUESTION OF THE DAY
The president of the Republic did confirm at a press conference that term limit will be one of the constitutional reforms that will be undertaken by the new government. He however added the constitution may be subject to reform or overhauled completely.
Gambians must be alert. What the country needs is to carefully look at the provisions of the constitution which require amendments. The agenda to overhaul constitution could lead to new manipulations of the constitution which could result in removing undesirable provisions only to add new undesirable provisions.
It is important for a national debate to begin on the content of the 1997 constitution with a view to making proposals for amendments. The law reform commission can take responsibility of making announcements to receive proposals which could be reviewed by validation workshops, etc which could then conclude whether an amendment exercise could be taken or not. We look forward to such debate.

"A week is a long time in Politics"
Harold Wilson: A week is a long time in politics
Harold Wilson (1916-95) served twice as Labour Prime Minister during one of the greatest periods of social and industrial change in the twentieth century.
During his first period in office, 1964-70, Wilson aimed to modernise Britain by harnessing the ‘white heat’ of technology. His government abolished capital punishment and liberalised laws on censorship, divorce, abortion and homosexuality. Crucial steps were also taken towards ending discrimination against women and ethnic minorities, and the Open University was created.
Wilson’s second term as Prime Minister, 1974-76, saw further reforms in education, health, housing, gender equality, pensions, provisions for disabled people and child poverty. However, with his government battling the UK’s deep set economic problems, Wilson’s last years in power were marked by economic and industrial crises.

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
