Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Mamma Kandeh, GDC 105,902 or 12.3 % of the votes cast<\/p>\n

Halifa Sallah, PDOIS 32,435 or 3.8 % of the votes cast<\/p>\n

Abdoulie Jammeh, NUP 8252 or 1.0 % of the votes cast<\/p>\n

Essa Mbye Faal, Independent 17,206 or 2 percent of the votes cast.<\/p>\n

It is now left to each party in particular and Gambians at large to assess the results and explain the outcome.<\/p>\n

Five political parties and one independent candidate participated in the election.<\/p>\n

Looking at the political divide one could read three trends:<\/p>\n

(a) The trend of the incumbent who exploited incumbency to the fullest supported by their partners, the APRC, the PPP, the GPDP, the NRP<\/p>\n

(b) The trend of regime change pioneered by the UDP supported the GFA, the GDC and the NUP and the independent candidate; and<\/p>\n

(c) the trend for system change pioneered by PDOIS and supported by the APP and the independent candidate Alhaji Kurang.<\/p>\n

The focus of the electorate appears to have been diverted from system change to the campaigns lodged by the NPP and its allies and the UDP and its allies.<\/p>\n

There was a massive turnout of voters. 80.9 percent of voters focused on ‘Anybody but Barrow’ and ‘anybody but Darboe’ campaigns, and only 3.8 % focused on system change. Finally, the ‘Anybody but Darboe’ campaign had 53.2 % of the vote while the ‘Anybody but Barrow’ campaign had 27.7 % of the vote.<\/p>\n

Various observers have already given their verdict on the election. Foroyaa will find out from the PDOIS alliance who will be holding a press conference today what their position is. Foroyaa will also find out from the others what their position is. This is how matters stand.<\/p>\n
