Kobo,
In NADD's MOU, there is only 1 (one) single term of office in where there would be a total overhaul of the political and economic system of the nation and this is going to be done with the participation of every intrested Gambian, be they politically engaged or part of civil society including members of the security forces.
The constitution is also suppose to be reviewed thgoroughly and it's flaw's rectified.
From there, all the parties would function as normal with their own identity and indiviual proposals to the electorate, just that the interim president of this transition phase cannot support any candidate including that of his original party. Totally neutral.
The other Alliance have not said yet if they still subscribe to this agreement and in their current behavior, it seems that they want to continue with traditional "politics as usual".
It is left to the people if they want NADD's proposal to stand or not. There is nothing else to do but to sell the manifesto to the people for them to decide.
It is not just a matter of being in an Alliance but with what guiding principles. |

It wasn't clear to me like that. Thanks for the clarification.
However on your comment as follows:-
"It is left to the people if they want NADD's proposal to stand or not. There is nothing else to do but to sell the manifesto to the people for them to decide".
I don't think it is left to the people rather it is left to the leaders of the opposition parties who commands what the people wants and demands from them, to institute good leadership, sell the manifesto and implement the ideals. However some of them are playing a dangerous game to carry on with their large following and not allowing the MOU to be effective, a proper alliance to exist and rallying behind a united front with its flagbearer to prepare themselves to challenge the APRC in Election 2006 under one umbrella.
The alliance is a win win situation but regretably it seems that prospect is fading away as time is running out. What can be done to to motivate them to work together before its too late and total failure, disgrace and dissapointments ensued?
