Rene, PDOIS have not spelled-out what of type allaince they are calling for; how the candidate is going to be chosen (primary, convention or whatever); and they did not state whether they would want to see the candidate stand as an independent or under a party banner. So clearly, nothing is been expanded upon here and that makes their position utterly vaguely. No wonder no one is able to make anything out of it.
Comparing UDP and PDOIS is a laughable thing to do. So I will not waste my time on that. I think it is best to ask your party leaders to expand on their position so that this debate can continue. As you know, I am always available to address issues and I love doing it.
I also noticed a bit of inconsistency on your part. The last time I said PDOIS is not clear on their position, you responded with the following;
"This is the reason why the document is now being studied to improve on it, and you are hereby invited to critique the document or offer any suggestions on how it can be improved.
This is the reason also why the PDOIS diaspora members took the initiative to further explain the document in the statement they have released above."
Now you are saying this;
"PDOIS's position is clear. What again do you want from them? Where is the UDP's statement on the 2016 elections that is not vaguely articulated and is expanded upon?"
This goes to show that you have no conviction but merely obsessed with reading from Halifa's script.
PDOIS is not UDP's political opponent. Therefore, you cannot reasonable the UDP to come up with something in response to a PDOIS manifesto. As you have seen in 2011, the UDP have their own way of dealing with the coalition issue. We also do put out a manifesto in every election cycle for the electorates.

I do not oppose unity but I oppose dumb union. |

"Sorry Sankalanka, a 1994 GHS young school lad and now in his early 30s is debating with you on Gambian politics.
AN ARROGANT KID AND HOODWINKER THAT BECAME THE BIG PROPONENT OF "PARTY-LED"; MISLEADING UDP; ESPECIALLY ITS LEADERSHIP WITH THIS NON-CREDIBLE OR NON-PLAUSIBLE UNITED NATIONAL FRONT STRATEGY OF OPPOSITION FRONT FOR A COMMON GOAL OR "MERGER OF POLITICAL PARTIES" TACTICAL ALLIANCE; ACHIEVABLE IN SPIRIT OF "NATIONAL UNITY" & SOLIDARITY" FUNDAMENTALLY. LOL"

Kobo, if this is the case I don't understand how the leadership of the UDP can allow Daffeh to speak so authoritatively in its name.
And to think that the things that he says and argues here does influence and guide UDP's policies and positions on the political issues affecting our country is unbelievable.

Rene, are you gonna go this low in the debate?? . Come on! Don't loose your cool.
I wish I have the power and influence you associated with me. Things would have been different. I think you should be concern with the Laurent Gbarbo type arrogant and narcissist dictator who micromanages the PDOIS party rather than associating imaginary powers and influences with me. His name is Halifa Sallah.
Thanks

Sankalanka True! Lol 
Plesae listen to D.Baldeh's interview with UDP Leader Lawyer Ousainou Darboe is on Gainako Radio and come back to highlight points gathered from him.
As it stands UDP have no programme for 2016 and yet to declare a Presidential candidate but he mentioned relying on G6 for electoral reform.
Will try to highlight few points verbatim from the interview or dbaldeh to help us with few transcripts |

G6 is not PDOIS but a group of opposition parties demanding for electoral reform in The Gambia. It is not a group that is designed to contest election and will never be transformed into a coalition to contest elections. In any case, G6 does not have any legal standing to sponsor candidates in public elections as it is not a registered political party.

Daffeh, let me clarify the inconsistencies you have outlined below.
"I also noticed a bit of inconsistency on your part. The last time I said PDOIS is not clear on their position, you responded with the following;
"This is the reason why the document is now being studied to improve on it, and you are hereby invited to critique the document or offer any suggestions on how it can be improved."
To tell you the truth I was just being sarcastic. That document is a policy statement by a political party, and the people who have the responsibility to study it and understand its details are the members of the party. They are the ones who can also improve on it.
"This is the reason also why the PDOIS diaspora members took the initiative to further explain the document in the statement they have released above."
The above statement is correct but probably should not have been linked to the issue I was talking about. They are two separate things.
Now you are saying this;
"PDOIS's position is clear. What again do you want from them? Where is the UDP's statement on the 2016 elections that is not vaguely articulated and is expanded upon?"
This goes to show that you have no conviction but merely obsessed with reading from Halifa's script.

Daffeh, I take back that statement. I don't want to loose my cool. We will just keep it neat and decent. Sorry about that.
Thanks

Daffeh, I am hoping that you will have the same sense of humility and apologize to me for your remarks above. Remember, we have to keep it neat and decent. I am waiting for your apology.

Kobo, I couldn't listened to the interview. If dbaldeh can post the transcripts here it can all be part of the wider discussion.

Sankalanka! You can see how ARROGANT lad is! He can make such vile malicious personal attacks to a senior humble citizen (far older than him), decent, respected and dynamic politician; retorting to your comments when I profile and exposed him as " a 1994 GHS young school lad and now in his early 30s is debating with you on Gambian politics.

The Standard News Wednesday Posted 04/06/2014 PDOIS’ BARROW CALLS FOR TERM LIMITS, SECOND ROUND OF VOTING
PDOIS ward councilor for Sare Ngai in Wuli West, Mekeng Ebrima Barow, has urged legislators to consider imposing a term limit for the president and parliamentarians as is currently being done for ward councilors.
Speaking at the recently-concluded regional outreach forum for National Assembly Members in URR and CRR held in Janjangbureh, the opposition politician said: “We should have a term limit for the presidency just like it is stated in the Local Government Act limiting councilors to no more than two terms in office. This provision has to be applied to the presidency. We should also have second round of voting in elections. If the majority have to lead, you also have to respect the rights of the minorities. The issue of a term limit is very important to the democratisation process. If we have a term limit, it will encourage every president to work harder to fulfil the expectations of the electorate. This is why I say we have to have a term limit for presidency in the constitution. The National Assembly members should also have term limits just like the councilors. This issue of term limit has to be across the board. If we have term limits for lower class, why not for the National Assembly Members or the president? We have to be upright.”....Full Report |

PDOIS unveils 2016-2018 electoral contract strategy
The Point: Published on Thursday, June 19, 2014
People’s Democratic Organisation for Independence and Socialism, PDOIS, Wednesday unveiled the 2016-2018 electoral contract with the villager for the 2016-2018 electoral cycles.
This was contained in a statement read by Halifa Sallah secretary-general of PDOIS during a press conference attended by journalists from both the print and electronic media.
Below we reproduced the statement read by Halifa Sallah at a press briefing:
The thousands who welcomed the PDOIS entourage and accompanied us from the outskirts of the village to the meeting place at the launching of PDOIS AGENDA 2016 at Barrow Kunda, URR and the thousands of villagers who turned up to grace the occasion at our rally in Jahanka , CRR who were led by exuberant youths riding horses and motor bicycles have compelled PDOIS to initiate a new tool for electoral accountability so that the people would not pin their enthusiasm and support on false hope. This is the basis of this electoral contract which stipulates a time bound programme to address the urgent needs of communities........Full Report |
