Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. Sadibou Kamaso, leader of Team Restore Confidence, has also come up with a reason as to why he did not congratulate the president-elect Kaba Bajo after the election on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kamaso got defeated 51 votes by Lamin Kaba Bajo as opposed to his 25 votes in 77 votes casted by the football stakeholders. There was only one invalid vote announced by the electoral committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I don\u2019t have to congratulate someone who has actually flouted all the rules of the constitution in terms of the electoral process,\u201d he said while responding to the reason for not congratulating Kaba Bajo on his election as GFF president.<\/p>\n

He asked why did they amend the constitution on the day of the election, adding that they should have told them (opposing camp) earlier that they are going to amend the constitution for the 4th vice president position so that they can file and bring in a candidate for that position.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have a candidate for that position. He\u2019s the incumbent and has all the powers and he\u2019s bringing two other female members. We don\u2019t have those, because we couldn\u2019t have done so as it wasn\u2019t in the constitution,\u201d he added that alone is an irregularity.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kamaso also questioned the reason for Kaba, the incumbent at that time, taking all the stakeholders to a hotel during the eve of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know what happened at Metzy hotel. There is certain information we can\u2019t discuss here. The stakeholders usually camp at the football hotel, not at Metzy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also explained the reason why he was stopped outside during the amendment of the constitution on the day of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI as a delegate wasn\u2019t allowed to enter during the extra-ordinary general assembly because they knew I was going to expose most of those things. They asked the police to stop me citing that the chairman of the Electoral Committee said I can\u2019t go in. How can you amend the constitution on the morning of the election\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe electoral committee chairman has no role in the extra-ordinary AGM. His role starts when the election proper starts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve made a series of complaints and protests to the chairman of the electoral committee who I believed was working together with them (Team Kaba). The other thing is the electoral committee is housed in the GFF.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a time I went to collect forms and I told the director of Communication (Baboucarr Camara) that I wasn\u2019t there on behalf of Hawks. It was even discussed in the Hawks meeting that I didn\u2019t collect forms on behalf of the Hawks. The lists of delegates are always shared with Team Kaba. So, they have the advantage and we don\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, what could\u2019ve been a free and fair election is if the electoral committee is independent, adding that he wrote some many protests which among them is asking the General Secretary to requisite himself from the electoral committee because he\u2019s part and parcel and is supporting the incumbent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sadibou Kamaso said they sit as a team to either come with a petition or protest against the things that happened before the election.<\/p>\n
