GMC leader Mai Ahmad Fatty filed his nomination papers on Monday afternoon and went ahead to state next month’s election is not about crowd.
The various political leaders have been taking a lot of pride in the crowd of supporters that follows them wherever they go to.
But the GMC leader told reporters Monday afternoon after completing filing his nomination documents: “This election is not about crowd. This election is about wealth. It is not about fame. It is about you the ordinary Gambians. It is about your health, it is about your education, it is about your security, it is about our stomach.
“This election is about energy security. This election is a contest of ideas and not a contest of crowd, as important as that may be. Crowd is not going to govern this country. It is intellect, it is policy, it is raw gut to put an end to the cascading crime rate in this country. To ensure our law enforcement agencies have what it takes to protect our people so that Gambia’s development trajectory to be expedited.”
Mr Fatty came to election house with a small crowd compared with UDP leader Ousainou Darboe.
