UDP Descends on Kombo East
By Malang Fatty
13th November, 2011, the United Democratic Party (UDP) and its party sympathizers converged at Ousainou Darboe’s compound at Kairaba Avenue, to begin their campaign of the day. At sharp 12:30pm, they drove through Kairaba Avenue, West field, Tabokoto and Brikama
The convoy had a brief stop at Brikama – Gunjur junction to announce that they are going to Kafuta, Faraba and Pirang, but will have to come back for a meeting in Brikama in the evening.
They had their first meeting of the day at Kafuta shortly after their arrival.
The meeting was opened by the minority leader of the National Assembly, Modou Sanneh, of Kiang west, with a prayer. With his opening remarks, he commended the UDP party chairman at Kafuta and the people of Kafuta and its surrounding for their support. The minority leader, called on the people of Kafuta to vote for Lawyer Ousainou Darboe in this forthcoming Presidential Election. He warned the people of a campaign to extol President Jammeh as king, “voting for APRC this year will be a welcome to a never ending rule of jammeh family in the Gambia,” said Modou Sanneh. He told the people of Kafuta not to give their votes to the Gambian leader who ventures into all kinds of business. He promised a presidential term limit of 10 years in the event that they are victorious.
The United Democratic Party leader, Osainou Darboe, reminded the people about the seizure of the only garden by the regime. He added that this garden is now used by Kharafi as a station. “This has brought nothing but hunger to the people of Kafuta,” said Mr Darboe. He urged everyone to vote without fear. The UDP leader assured the people of Kafuta that Basiru Jedjur and Co’s campaign for Jammeh’s to be extolled as king will not stand to the test.
The UDP campaign team later proceeded to Faraba for a short meeting. On arrival at Faraba Manokang, they were welcome by a large crowd at the village square, where they held their second meeting of the day. Modou Sanneh, the minority leader opened the meeting by greeting the party’s village chairman, Omar Bah. “Our votes are powerful and capable of unseating president Jammeh. I challenged the popular misconception that votes can never unseat presidents. Look at our sister country Senegal, where Wade removed Abdoulie Diuof from the seat by election. So let us not listen to wishful thinking,” said the minority leader.
Omar Bah, the Chairman of UDP at Faraba, called for people to support UDP to rescue Gambians from bondage, hunger and hardship by voting for the UDP. He said they needed a peaceful change by electing Darboe in to office.
The outspoken opposition stalwart, Dembo Bojang known as Dembo By- Force, said Kombo will rally behind Darboe at all times.
“Gambians should be the judge to the debate that says; are Gambians living in good-life or no? Do we need so called infrastructural development or food self-sufficiency?”
