Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Faal voiced this in a press briefing and at various places where he and his team have held rallies and meetings. \u201cThis is an election that is already being rigged before our very eyes. Whether they would succeed in rigging it completely? \u201cI don\u2019t know, because the mood in the country is that they want change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everywhere we went people are chanting: \u201cAgindi. Agindi. Ay gii. Ay gii,\u201d which speaks volume about their expected outcomes in this election and what are their aspirations. That is why there is so much panic in the incumbent camp, which is pushing them to play all these nasty tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they were so confident that they would win, they would not have been involved in such dirty tricks. Imagine us being followed by a marabout doing all sorts of nonsense just to try to spoil things for us. Being followed by people who are playing all sorts of intimidatory tactics. That situation can hardly qualify for free and fair,\u201d Mr. Faal queried.<\/p>\n

He added that bags of money are flying around, and therefore, a lot of money is being spent which are aimed at buying the elections to be held in a few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are stories that everywhere we went, they would go after us and bribe the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I heard of a story that one of our important mobilisers, immediately after we left his house, NPP people went there and offered him D13, 000 for him to switch alliances. Well, I can\u2019t prove that because I didn\u2019t see the money. I wasn\u2019t there. It is just a hear-say. But this is such a respectable person who has no reason to lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when they come they wouldn\u2019t tell you I am Mr. So and So representing person X. I am here to bribe you. They would never do that. They would come and just show concern and try to be good and kind to you and offer these kinds of help. But these are things that should be investigated, because it is becoming too much at the moment,\u201d he alleged. He concluded that these are unacceptable and unwarranted.<\/p>\n
