And in any case, this is a NADD stronghold. Most of their votes came from this part of the country in both the 2006 presidential and 2007 parliamentary elections. So, clearly low voter turn-out is not a credible excuse for their defeat.

What a good idea, I take it that you will accept their figures ? They dont tell the number of those entitled to vote nor do they count the 1 spoilt vote I hope that this information from the IEC is accurate enough for you.
Well I did and here are the figures,yes and a link in case you fear some problem

This is exactly my point. Toubab. These IEC figures did not go far enough to show the number of registered voters in the Sare Ngai ward. All we can ascertain from them are the number of votes cast and how much has been cast for each contestant. This leaves Halifa's figures in respect of the voter population wholly uncertainable atleast on the basis of these figures. That doesn't mean his figure is not correct but only that it must be treated with caution for there exists a probability that it may not be accurate. That's all I am saying.

Ah.....now I understand,I wish that you had expressed that earier saved me a lot of research time getting the (available) official figures,which as you correctly state do not show the total number of those entitled to vote,all we are left with is votes cast and obviously cannot speculate on percentages or statistics between the parties because we do not know the number of entitled voters.
OK 1 + 1 = 4 Right ?
Clever Eh..., I missed that. |

I have a question for those versed with this electioneering process.
Now that the Sare N'gai seat has been contested few months before the general elections(2011), does that mean the seat would not be contested in a few months time, when the 2011 general elections are due? |

| Janko - It would be contested, again, in 2011 general election. I think. |

Regards
Dont you think NADD and UDP combined would have won the bye- elections? Maybe the uncast votes belongs to UDP, LOL |

UDP eyes victory in 2011 polls, says UDP leader.
So, what is the excuse for UDP, which claims they will be victories, not contesting? Maybe they should not contest for 2011 and protest like they have done it before. Or, they contest for the UK seat as they have the total support of UDP-UK.
UDP leader is saying they will be victories in words, but when it comes to action, they chicken-out. Obviously, they did not want to voters realize that they are not as strong as they portray the UDP as a 'victorious'. In politics, there are always undecideds and most of them would vote for the party that is going to win. Jammeh will get these undecided voters.
Our executive party official is playing dumb/mute/deaf when people ask question why UDP did not contest. I don't blame him. Because he does not have an answer other than, obvious reason that UDP is not capable and they do not have skills, will, desire to attract voters. They don't even have a program/platform and they have an aging leader who will be retired in 2011 with the humiliating defeat.
For UDP, not contesting is not a confidence building for the voters eyes. UDP is a big joke and the voters will punish them. I hope Halifa takes this opportunity and stop talking about taking Jammeh down for this election which is impossible task for this election and take the lead of being alternative. UDP leader will have to be forced for retirement after this election. Halifa! Opportunity is knocking. Don't miss it.
Oh, may I remind you that UDP get 0 vote for this by-election. |

Now we are on the same page, toubab. I wish I had been much clear at the very onset. I owe you a lemonade for that.

Janko, the seat will not be contested again until 2013 when both the presidential and parliamentary elections would have been conducted.
