Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Firebrand politician and one of the unsuccessful aspirants of the National People\u2019s Party \u2018s ticket for the chairmanship elections in West Coast, Ahmad Gitteh, has said the party will pay the price for betraying him in the recent primaries.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Gitteh was widely believed to have won the first round of the primaries when he scored 31 votes against eventual winner Seedy Ceesay\u2019s 30. However, party officials conducting the selection process invalidated Gitteh\u2019s winning vote.<\/p>\n

He walked out of the rerun and declared he will run on an independent ticket.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Kerr Fatou yesterday, Mr Gitteh said over 90 percent of the NPP support base did not approve of the injustice meted out to him and the party will pay for it . \u201cIn fact NPP has already lost West Coast. I know that the regional executive is divided with majority of them in solidarity with me over the injustice and when the election comes they will express this in the way they will vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Job offers<\/p>\n

Mr Gitteh also disclosed that he has been hinted with job offers since his fall out with the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut why would they now consider me for a job when they have not thought of it since. Why now? But even if I am offered the job of vice president now, I would not take it ,\u201d Mr Gitteh said.<\/p>\n
