I also don\u2019t foresee any possibility of having a united front due to leadership crises from political actors (that is, if I don\u2019t lead, no one will be allowed to lead). From the looks of it, this will always be the case until the day before the presidential elections (December 04th).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gibba emphasized that no single political party has the capacity to win the elections on its own without support from other parties or independent candidates. \u201cIt is a known fact that no single party will emerge victorious in the upcoming elections without the support of other parties and\/or independent candidates. This is the fact. If you deny this, then I assume that you don\u2019t actually want to accept the reality or don\u2019t understand the political dynamics of the country and that of Africa at large.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Gibba, the fragmented nature of the opposition stems from competing leadership ambitions, with each party leader seeking to head any prospective coalition\u2014an approach he says is influenced by lessons learned from the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
