Yanks Darboe Fires Back at Wally Jr’s Attack

Chairman of the Brikama Area Council, Yanks Darboe, has responded to a scathing social media post by Wally Jr in which the latter accused him of destroying the United Democratic Party (UDP).

In his post, Wally Jr wrote, “If UDP was your last hope in politics it’s over. Yanks Darboe and his people destroyed this party, may Allah judge him. Team insult.”

Reacting to the statement, Yanks Darboe dismissed the attack, stressing that he is not in the race for the UDP flagbearership but continues to be targeted unnecessarily. He clarified that his support lies with Lawyer Ousainou Darboe, whom he intends to vote for, while calling for an amicable selection process within the party.

Darboe further emphasized that he remains focused on his religious duties, particularly in defending his Sering, Shaykh Ahmad Bamba Mbacke of Touba, and urged critics to allow him peace.

Hon. Sanyang: UDP Cannot Afford to Lose Another Opportunity

United Democratic Party (UDP) National Assembly Member Hon. Yahya Menteng Sanyang has urged party supporters to rally behind Talib Ahmed Bensouda in the flagbearer race, describing him as the party’s best opportunity for the future.

Sanyang reflected on the party’s role in 2016, noting that Adama Barrow was a major success for the UDP, but one that slipped from the party’s control. He cautioned that the same mistake must not be repeated with Bensouda’s candidacy.

“Barrow was our success, but as a political party we failed to manage it and let it slip through our hands. Talib is now our opportunity, and we will seize it with both hands. We cannot afford to lose both a success and an opportunity within just 10 years,” Sanyang said.

The UDP is expected to unveil its official flagbearer on September 10.

Lamin Tamba Joins The UDP Flagbearship Debate. Below is his latest statement:

There is rumour of a coup in UDP but I see no coup.

I see a bold young man who is pursuing his leadership ambition the right way, even if it upsets the UDP hierarchy.

If you failed 2 elections miserably, you should relinquish your presidential ambitions even if it’s for a temporary period. If both or the most recent election is close then retaining the same leader makes sense but not when the same leader flopped 5 times with a wide margin of defeat. That type of leadership till death do us part mustn’t be allowed in opposition circles ever again.

If you don’t like what Talib Ahmed Bensouda is doing and you think he may win and become the UDP Candidate, put yourself up or your chickenheart candidate up to challenge Darboe and/or Bensouda.

I am not a Bensouda fan but he has every right to unseat the perennial flop.

Go for it Talib. If anyone is aggrieved, let them stick their heads above the parapet and man up!

OPINION: Is the UDP Executive Failing Its Supporters or Divided Over Flag Bearer Issue?

By Seedy B Kanyi

The United Democratic Party (UDP) stands today at a critical juncture. What should be an exciting and democratic process the selection of the party’s flag bearer has instead turned into a source of division and bitterness among its supporters. On social media, loyalists who should be working together to strengthen the UDP are instead bullying and insulting one another over who deserves to lead.

This is troubling, because the rules of the party are clear. Every member of the UDP has the right to apply to become flag bearer. It is meant to be an open and democratic contest. Yet, instead of respecting the process, many supporters have abandoned civility and are pushing personal agendas, risking the unity of the very party they claim to defend.

The silence of the UDP executive on this matter is equally worrying. When nine elected Members of Parliament were expelled, the leadership did not hesitate to act, sacrificing valuable representatives who had weight and influence within the party. But today, when the party’s grassroots are tearing each other apart, no strong intervention has been made.

This raises serious questions,are the UDP executives themselves divided on the issue of the flag bearer? Is this why they are reluctant to take decisive action to calm tensions and guide the process? If unity at the top is missing, then it is no surprise that the base is left confused and fractured.

The UDP cannot afford to go into another election cycle with such disunity. The party’s strength lies in its ability to present itself as a credible alternative to the Gambian people. But how can it do so if its own supporters are fighting in the open, unchecked by the leadership?

The executives must rise to the occasion. Silence in the face of division is not leadership it is avoidance. If the UDP is serious about governance, then it must first govern itself.
