An elected president according the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by PDOIS, UDP, NDAM, PPP, NRP is not permitted to serve for more than one term or to give support to a future presidential candidate. “The interim president of the republic under the Alliance shall serve for one five year term of office only. He/she shall vacate his or her seat at the end of his or her term and shall neither seek nor support the candidature of any other person for the ensuing presidential election.”
Does this disqulify current executive members of NADD to be choosen the flag bearer since they will most probably continue to support their original parties?
I think we should have a female as the flag bearer for NADD. Liberia has set a record for Africa today having the first woman president on the continent and The Gambia should be the next. Men have ruled all African countries since independence and have failed and its time we see what women are capable of.

Insider Sources, Confirmed story on the Point.
A Nadd Insider revealed that tomorrow is Nadd's anniverssary, also they will name a flagbearer at their 3.00pm meeting, and to announce it on saturday in Brikama.
"It's being really tough and genuine" concluded the source.
They are all united and determined more to uproot jammeh like a weed plant .
Watch out for our piece on the said story.
I thank you.

My brother Dalton, It seems to me you are part of the conspiracy to miss informed the public. We have been promised many times by you and NADD without appologies on this issues.
I'm frustrated like most Gambians, about NADD and its mode of operations ... its clearly very secretive and lacks transparency and accountability that we area yearning for. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of the challenges that it faces particulary from the ruling party and its machinery but we cannot afford to give up the fundamentals principles for some cooked objectives. The enemy must be fought with intergrity force and moral victory is only certain with openess. |

As usual,and always you missed it totally.
Get your sleeves sorted well.
You saw in the point, what is your reaction ? Mine was to to talk to someone within the inside.
"Conspiracy"- to who ? what ?
My brother , a forum is reading you.
There is something i am over with, and that everyone knows well with certainty. I ain't going to play unknown and dirty games.
Restructure your "conspiracy", and it doesn't fit.
Have a good day. |

| Dalton am not against your views and information your convey about NADD but I agree more with somita as I belief an organisation as NADD has a PR department and most importantly a spokesperson. Is he or she just happy with the title but not the duties required of the title. I tend to question the engine running the affiars of NADD. |

Maple, i share your view on it. But also , in my part i only conveyed what Waa Juwara told me. If i so desired, i could just sit on the information satisfying my mine. Of course why would you and all be in forums, if not for news and learning.
The point to share views about a flagbearer is a generally shared concern.
All i said was about Nadd's meeting, and very factual of their meeting. i did talk to them while the meeting is on-and pa nderry and Sankareh's writing on the story truly vindicated me.
That's something that any here will do- Mine was short and straight. What any here or any where cannot force me into though-some personalised issues or irrelevant issues to my posting-that i think is and never fair to any person . I am not getting back to that level-
I thank you for your shared feeling.

Dalton very disappointing response to my posting, lets go down to what i have said, yes i think there is a conspiracy to miss-inform. I stood by statement,its my opinion and i will stand by it until i'm prooven otherwise.
Firstly I understand you spoke to a NADD insider about the issues you post, but i dont expect you take the response on their face value, I expect you to question the answers before postings. Otherwise unfortunately we see you as part of the plot .... becasuse in a way you are begin used.
Dalton with all due respect, politicians are what they are, they always to dictate what we the massess do, including the air we breath, that for many reason keeps them in their jobs. If you are the mouthpiece of these politicing on this forum, im afraid I see them through you and therefore will response through you.
You said, i have missed the point as always, I dont know what you meant and you will do this forum justice if you can put more flesh on it. |

Adama,
Step foot on it, and yearn more about unity. It is a necessity.
Proving, and supporting arguements won't do us any good, other than the push and pull on matters, which to the point-may be arguements points from one or the other.
Make your salient points and move on. We will all tackle jammeh unanimously.
Regards,
Dalton.

| Well guys i dont think and belief that we are after each other's throat. We have a common enenmy and thats Jammeh not as a person but an individual against democracy, rule of law and no regard for the Gambian race. We should not be blinded by our quest for a new government that we all start supporting any party but a party with vision and hope for the gambian populace. I sincerely wish all the best for NADD, but the forum should not just only be use as anti-jammeh but as promoters of democracry, transparency and anti-corruption. For this being the case let us give ourselves the chance to talk about NADD and hope our comment and not sentement will be of good use to a future NADD ruling government. I salute you all and keep the courage but most importantly the peace and let us not be personal. The Gambia No Problem. |

rejoinder !
I see your line of thinking and truly understand your frustration. It is shared concern and frustration, but without the sweat on it, we will easily forget the hard times we are going true. That's why i beleive it is good that we drip sweat for this one, and will make us appreciate and value the hard moments under a jammeh tyranny.
Let me reaffirm and reassure you that i am a partner in the struggle, and of the mere ordinary like you or any one else here or there.
Continue on your fruitful contributions as time permits you-
Regards,
Dalton |

Dalton, dont get me wrong, but i'm frustrated with NADD, i am not sure if we have what we wanted or we are settling in for something that could be potentially be explosive.
The Gambia desperately needs a better system, an open people centered system devoid of selfish monsters interested in building empires but individuals wanting to make The Gambia a better place for all and sundry. I'm not sure if NADD is demonstrating these qualities at this point in time and I think its not foolish to ask question rather it is foolish to assume they are what they are not.
Having said that I'm disappointed we are spending valuable time and energy agueing about issues when we could have ague about the way farward...... For the mean time ....peace and lets direct our energy constructively for the task at hand is huge. |

I think NAAD ececutive should come out and tell the masses that they are not able to agree on a flag bearer among themselves. Halifa stated in his interview with Foroyaa that selecting a flag bearer "can be done by the executive committee on the basis of the principle of unanimity or through voting by the leaders of the grass roots committees of the respective political parties." This slow process of choosing a flag bearer is geting on my nerves How long time do we have to wait? |

Of course Halifa, in his interview is logically telling us what is within the inside. I wish they would just agree on some one soon. Allgambian spoke with foroyya's Sam Sarr, and he seems to depict and refute the allegations circulating around, especially the issue with the UDP refusing to accept OJ. In the first place, such matters, to my opinion, should be media covered.
Adama, politicians everywhere are the same. They have too many short comings, and most of the time failed their electorate. Have u ever thought of happenings at the Gambian National assembly-what do you think of these fellows being fed with our own tax payer's money, at the same time geared towards personal agrandizements.
Momodou, i buy your point that ,they should look into possibilities of a woman president- Amie Sillah or Hawa Ceesay Sabally, will be hot flagbearers. They are very productive, and we can easily market them to the general electorate including the yai-compins. I am sure there are other women equilly capable.

| Hello Dalton and comorades in the struggle if I may refer to you all. I belief your posting has direct link to my topic for I asked, who should lead NADD, and am finally glad we can start the debate now. You mentioned two potential female presidential canditates and i belief there to be more within the female population of The Gambia. Am distrbed that many in this forum are male and why are Gambian female lacking behind in the affairs of our beloved Gambia, no offence to anybody and sorry if i did. NADD selecting a female candidate is not answer, i belief NADD has to analyse itself. It need to analyse its Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and fianlly Threats otherwise called SWOT analysis. After careful, delibrate and intensive analysis then the decision of selecting a female candidate comes in. Othre coubtries are selecting and voting a female candidate but is The Gambia's political field matured for a female candidate. Thats another challenge of its own. One problem at a time. Please dont feel am gender bias for those who know me knows am not but just trying to be frank as to situation in the Gambia. Personally i belief that NADD has a lot of strength and good opportunity that can win us the election. Let us not forget that we have more weaknesses and threats too. We should utilise our strengths and opportunities but need to work hard to improving our weaknesses to our strenghts and turning our threat to opportunities hence giving us a better chance against APRC come next election. I am trying to objective which itself is a subjective term, so lets exchange ideas and Dalton I hope NADD executives are utilising this forum. The Gambia No Problem |

| Democracy is messy.Getting five different ambitions and egos to come to a consensus no matter how noble the cause might be is not an easy task. A little patience on the side of those of us out of this delicate decision making process is in order. |
