Fake! Am not counting on it, just the same old.
They already knows who would win and who wouldn't!
Lets stay home and have our little peace.

Another futile exercise, not worth contesting to validated & consolidate yaya’s tyrannical enslavement; as long as the IEC who’s so-called-independence seen them totally dependent on yaya’s dictatorial tendencies, breathing yaya jammeh-aprc through, & through, hence act as tool/instrument to perpetuate our communal decadence including their very selves. Yaya jammeh openly ILLEGALLY register Cassamance nationals at the so-called elections, MONOPOLISES the State own media, funds & facilities, etc, meant to equally serve both incumbent & opposition; constant abuse, harassment & intimidations of the supporters & leaderships of the Oppositions.......... The Opposition too MUST devise ways & put their house in order to gain realistic momentum to finish the task.
