DARBOE HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE
By Emil Touray
Ousainou Darboe has confirmed his resignation from NADD at a press conference held at the UDP bureau on Wednesday. He also pointed out that he will apply to be a supporter of the United Democratic Party, noting that the UDP will hold a really in Brikama on Saturday. He also stated that the National Reconciliation Party has agreed to work with the United Democratic Party. Darboe also revealed that Hamat Bah will be at the proposed rally on Saturday. Darboe said he will encourage the UDP to form a committee that will work out the details of an Alliance with the NRP. Darboe said he has resigned because he has noticed a gradual shift from the memorandum of understanding. He pinted out that it is for the UDP to decide whether it will continue to be a member of NADD, noting that his deputy, Yaya Jallow and Kemeseng Jammeh, are still members of NADD.
Darboe also added that he cannot continue to be a member of NADD due to lack of trust amongst its leaders. He however pointed out that the members of NADD are honourable gentlemen and that he has enormous respect for Sedia Jatta.
In his explanation, Darboe said the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by the five political parties clearly states the continuous existence of the five opposition parties.
Darboe said, "The Alliance was to operate a coalition and not a single political entity, because political pluralism is what is being encouraged and not to have two dominant political parties in the country. We all agreed that this was what was necessary and I am gratified that I am associated with such a move which in my view was helping to create a level playing field. I got into it because it tallied with my vision and aspiration and the vision and aspiration of the United Democratic Party which I was then leading. The Alliance that was established was subsequently transformed into a political party. There were some difficulties not only some difficulties but there were some human frailties which in my view hindered our progress. In any organisation, be it political or commercial, whatever nature, there must be trust amongst its members. They must respect each other. Am not saying only members of an organisation should love the other member, but then the relationship should not be unfriendly. In the past, few months, I observed the way we were operating and some of the human frailties, I came to the conclusion that NADD is not the right place for Ousainou Darboe. I tendered my resignation, but I declined to make it public because some members of NADD prevailed on me and said I should not make it known to public until certain things they want to do were done. But the inevitable cannot be postponed and this morning, I officially informed the IEC of my resignation from NADD.
I have to do so in the light of the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Honourable Halifa Sallah and others and the Clerk of the National Assembly. The Court says that the signatories to the registration have ceased to be members of their political parties and are now a member of a new political party. My resignation from NADD has not shut the door for cooperation and coalition between myself and another political party. This afternoon I will be applying to the UDP to be admitted as a member because of the legal ramification of that judgment. Otherwise I will be without a political party and I don#146;t want to be without a party. In anticipation that my application to the UDP will be approved as a supporter of the UDP, I will be organising a rally at Brikama at which we will make it known to our grass root supporters that I have resigned from NADD. I am pleased to announce that in my resumed membership of the UDP, the National Reconciliation Party is ready to work with me, and on Saturday, Hamat Bah and myself will be at the rally."
