UDP leader Ousainou Darboe on Thursday declined to speak following his return to the country from Abuja, Nigeria – where he participated in talks over the crisis-gripped draft constitution alongside compatriot political leaders.
The leaders jetted out to Nigeria on Monday for a showdown with former Nigerian leader Goodluck Jonathan who has been preoccupied with the job of speaking to them for them to come to a common understanding.
After three days of talks, the leaders returned to the country amid reports of the talks failing to clinch success.
UDP is said to have disagreed in two key areas: the issue of whether President Barrow’s current term should count as part of a two-term limit under the new constitution and whether amendments should be made to the draft constitution before it’s taken back to the national assembly.
However, UDP leader Darboe declined to speak when approached by The Fatu Network for comment.
