All
the seven rallies of the opposition coalition scheduled for yesterday could not
hold due to delay at ferry crossing in Banjul, coalition sources said
Though
some of the sympathisers were able to cross, big heads including the coalition
leader, Adama Barrow, could not cross until the time of going to press last
night.
The
delay was due to the fact that the ferry terminal was yesterday jam-pack with
people and vehicles crossing to Senegal for the annual religious gathering
locally called ‘Magal’, which is to take place on Saturday in Touba.
The
coalition was originally planned to have meetings in Essau, Niumi Lamin, Pakau
Njogou, Ndungu Kebbeh, Kerr Omar Saine, Darsilameh and Kerewan but none could
hold.
Meanwhile,
campaign of Mamma Kandeh of the Gambia Democratic Congress is going as
planned. Yesterday, he held meetings at
Sanchaba Sulay Jobe, Bundung Borehole, Fajikunda and Mandinaring, and the
turnout was impressive.
Similarly,
the tour of the incumbent president, Yahya Jammeh of the Alliance for
Patriotic, Reorientation and Construction (APRC), is also going smoothly. He had a meeting in Central River Region
yesterday.
