Landslide Victory Certain

As the voter registration intensifies and the November 24th polls approaches, political developments in the country are clearly indicating that the ruling APRC will be unstoppable come the D-day.

We agree with Hon. Mama Kandeh, the National Assembly member for Jimara Constituency that come November 24th, the APRC will sweep the polls with a 95% landslide victory. This optimism is of course not new; the party bigwigs including the national mobiliser have expressed the same optimism and most recently other Gambians are assuring the president that with or without him campaigning, they are firmly behind him and the APRC.

We all know that within a year, two by-elections were conducted in the country and the APRC comfortably swept both polls. There have also been high-profile defections from the opposition camp to the ruling party. Mass political rallies are also being organised by the people in support of the APRC to show to President Jammeh that with or without him campaigning, he has a clean sheet of record that is enough to guarantee his victory come November 24th.

It can therefore be stated with utmost certainty that the people themselves have set the grounds and a 95% victory for the APRC in the forthcoming polls is unquestionable. What is now important is for all those who have not yet acquired the new voters card to do so as soon as possible so that on the D-day, the whole country can rise with one voice and prove once more our commitment to the ideology of national reorientation and reconstruction as well as demonstrate our total readiness to stay on the path of progress, peace and prosperity.

It should be at all times realised that the only way to prove support and loyalty to President Jammeh and the numerous developments he brought to the doorstep of every Gambian is to acquire the voters card and vote for the APRC.

Rush now to get your voters card.
