Mr. President-elect, the election system in the Gambia is unique in Africa which makes it credible. A few days after voter registrations, names of registered people were displayed for public scrutiny and anyone who wants to complain about the process can go to the courts.
On Election day, all political parties had representatives in all polling stations and immediately after closing, counting was done on the spot.
The spot counting is done in the presence of all party agents and signed. With all these processes involved, it is very difficult to rig an election in The
Gambia.
The fact of the matter is, in any political race or sport competitions, there must be a winner and loser and losers should accept defeat since some of their executive members sent congratulatory messages to you.
The game is over since you have been declared winner by IEC with 53% of the votes cast.
Mr. President-elect, your inauguration should be 19th January 2022 after which you should select your Cabinet. Currently you have 17 cabinet members including the Vice President – 13 male and four female
Many must be lobbying now to be ministers or ambassadors, but I will advise that you appoint people from different tribes, regions, religions with integrity and expertise.
Mr. President, you should work onfulfilling majority of your promises made during the campaign because you cannot fulfill all due financial constraints.
Fighting corruption and tribalism should be amongst your top priorities alongside the youth unemployment. You revisit the fishing sector to encourage Gambian fisher men with financial support. Sports development and infrastructure should also be on your agenda.
Mr. President, always remember that you are the president of all Gambians. We can have divergent views in politics but we should not be enemies.
We should put aside our personal interests and take Gambia's interest first to foster unity and promote peace and develop the country.
The election is over. It's time that we come together as Gambians irrespective of party or tribe affiliations and work for the betterment of our dear Mother Land, The Gambia.
Mr. President - elect, we need reliable and affordable electricity and water, good roads, good communication network, good health system to minimise Gambians going for treatment overseas, good security to fight armed robbers, and support of your government to the media by abolishing the draconian media laws. Also government should pay advertisement bill on time to sustain the media.
Education should be made affordable for every Gambian and promote Good neighbourliness with Senegal and other countries especially Africa
Finally Mr. President-elect, the cost of living is going higher on a daily basis. The Ministry of Trade should warn shop keepers who always increase the price of basic commodities without justification. Government should always try to uphold the rule of law and good governance. Promotion in the service should be done based on merits and not political affiliation.
Good luck!
Good day!
