GAMBIAN AFFAIRS WRITER
The Youth Wing of Gambia's National Alliance for Democracy and Development NADD,
has issued a strongly worded statement calling on the NADD leadership to avoid the
issue of resorting to primaries on the party's leadership crisis and maintained
whoever is selected by the Executive to serve as flag bearer in the country's 2006
polls. In a letter dated January 20TH, 2006, the NADD Youth wing, communicated a
decision that was reached at the party's secretariat, by their colleagues, on the
said the leadership struggle creeping into the much talked about coalition.
Reading the solutions of the Youth Wing demands, on the line to Banjul, our NADD
well trusted source said the Youths gave the NADD executive series of demands to
meet. Our source went on to name some of the key points of the resolutions issued
by the concerned NADD Youth Wing members.
1. That the flag bearer must be able to win the confidence and trust of NADD.
2.That the flag bearer must be selected amongst the membership of NADD.
3.That the flag bearer should not be just anyone, but somebody who can win the
support, trust and confidence and not only the members of NADD, but also outside
of the alliance as well.
4.That the flag bearer should be someone who is capable of being a unifier without
any biased whatsoever. That the executive committee should immediately resolve and
conclude the issue of the selection of a flag bearer, in unanimity, without
rancour, in the interest of the unity of the NADD party, in particular and both
interest of the Gambian people in general.
5.That the issue of resorting to primaries for the selection of a flag bearer
should be avoided.
6.That the executive should have the interest as well as the capacity of
concluding this issue to the satisfaction demand and interest of all members.
The NADD Youth Wing continued our source, concluded by saying "long live NADD
unity, long live NADD, long live The Gambia.
In another development, my well placed source said the NADD executive are supposed
to meet today at 3 o clock Gambian time, to finally decide who should lead the
much talked about coalition. My source also promised to get back to me as soon as
they wrap up the said meeting. Our readers will updated as developments unfolds.
It would be recalled that Omar Amadou Jallow, was selected by the majority at the
first NADD leadership nomination, but for some reasons, the UDP leader Ousainou
Darboe, could not immediately make up his mind on OJ'S selection. It appears that
the UDP leadership is not recognising that decision, in view of the their slow
reaction on the issue. Well today is the D day for the final selection process.
We hope parties concerned will put national interest ahead of personal interest.
The said petition letter dated Friday 20TH, January 2006, was signed by the NADD
Youth Wing Members, across the West African country.
