On many platforms, Mr.Ousainou Darboe was heard of making the point that President Adama Barrow should lead for five years because that is what the constitution says. Indeed that is what the constitution says, but the coalition partners were NOT ignorant of the constitutional provision of five years during their discussions, but that after much […]
When Coalition 2016 was formed the condition laid down and agreed upon was that whoever became the candidate and won the election that the person will be there for three years to give and add value to the coalition on the historic mission to wiping out self-perpetuating rule on Gambian soil. For Barrow as Coalition […]
Happy New Year as the clock tick tocks. What a year it will be from a political perspective. Trouble at the UDP over new members believed to be APRC militants gaining seats at the Executive while the old guards say ’no’ to this intrusion but the decision stands and there is bitterness in the UDP […]
UDP leader and Vice-President Ousainou Darboe is on record vowing to go to court in the event anyone tried to implement the three year coalition agreement. But today, UDP supporters are in the forefront calling for President Barrow to step down after three years. The accusation of alleged attempted bribery of lawmakers was made by […]
Disappointment and betrayal are among the most trending words in Gambian political discussion these days. Many of the original eight-member coalition parties represented in the cabinet have either been sacked or relegated to some insignificant advisory role.

The PDOIS will no longer compromise the truth, we have been patient for too long and we will no longer be patient with the truth. Deception is no longer possible. I must say that I will not tell you the figures, what PDOIS deposited for the deposit of the presidential candidate, what PDOIS contributed to […]
Are we thinking of a referendum or an early Presidential election? Should we seek to have such a referendum by June 2019 and a possible general election by the end of 2019? At the very least, people ought to be asked if Mr. Barrow should honour the Coalition agreement and serve for 3 years or […]
President Barrow’s public announcement he is a UDP President and that the UDP should have no cause to nominate a new presidential candidate against him sounds rather incomprehensible to understand. IEC did you hear that? Are your hands tied or don’t you remember that in the manifesto presented by the Coalition flag-bearer it did spell […]
As we all are aware, the Coalition which comprises of (UDP, NRP, PDOIS, PPP, NCP, GPDM GMC and Isatou Touray and team) was the product of a desperate desire to oust former president when the coalition received the victory platter from the IEC and President Barrow took over the realms of Government, little did we […]
