Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>United Democratic Party (UDP) 2nd Vice President of the National Youth Wing Hagi Suwaneh has claimed that he obtained credible information that tribalism is the only thing that is delaying the National People\u2019s Party (NPP) from selecting candidates for the local government election.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are very desperate at the moment. All the serious parties are presenting their candidates. NPP is busy on tribal politics,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Suwaneh, the government set the commission of inquiry to witch-hunt hardworking mayors and chairmen and mislead the public ahead of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cA credible source close to the NPP executives told me the party will not announce their candidates until after the election of the councillors because of the tribal selection they want to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey already made up their mind on who to be selected but they are avoiding a fraction that\u2019s why is delayed until after the councillor\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if they announce their candidates now it will negatively impact their councillor election,\u201d Hagi claimed a source informed him during his recent tour across the country.<\/p>\n

Mr. Suwaneh further stated that he obtained information that NPP have plans to remove some people from their positions and use them to win the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey promised those positions that are temporary, but plans are underway to sack those soon they settle.<\/p>\n

My source further revealed to me that NPP wants a candidate who is from Basse either in Mansajang or Samba Tako. Other applicants outside Basse will not be selected,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

Hagi warned UDP prominent people who want to join NPP that they will not be selected to contest in West Coast Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission is only targeting Mayor Rohey Malick Lowe of Banjul, Talib Ahmed of KMC, Foday Janko of Basse Area Council, Landing B Sanneh of Kansa Konko Area Council,\u201d he ended.<\/p>\n
