Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Independent candidate, Ahmed Gitteh, has an in extensive on press posited that the National People\u2019s Party candidate for Brikama Area Council chairman, Seedy Ceesay, will not win the race in the upcoming Local Government election.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe party does not belong to the president, and it does not belong to the first family. If anybody thinks that way, you\u2019re fooling yourself. And there wouldn\u2019t be a future for the party if that is anything that anyone believes in. Now the effect of that is just coming out because right now NPP\u2019s win is out of the equation in West Coast. They are not going to win. It\u2019s either me or Yankuba. Write it down. It is either Ahmed Gitteh will win this election or Yankuba Darboe will win this election, NPP is out of the equation,\u201d Gitteh said.<\/p>\n

He describes what his party has done to him as \u2018injustice\u2019 and \u2018irresponsible\u2019, and not inline with the principles of their party;<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they have done is injustice. What they have done is irresponsible. What they have done is not inline with the principles of our party. Nobody with his right frame of mind would want to take a route as irresponsible as the one some of these people have taken. And the good thing is you have just point 001 percent of the party that is involved. 90 percent of the party militants are with me. I can assure you, even the National executive is divided. The regional executive the last time I checked out of 23, 16 of them voted for me, and they are still with me. They will keep quiet, they will not talk because they know that we built this party. No one person has authority over everybody,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ahmed Gitteh was a primary candidate for the National People\u2019s Party (NPP) for the upcoming Brikama Area Council Chairmanship election. He insisted that he won his Party\u2019s first primary to select a candidate. That one ended up in dispute, and Seedy Ceesay was subsequently selected in a rerun of the primary that Gitteh boycotted.<\/p>\n
