Multiple sources interviewed by this medium said Mr. Darboe, has vowed
that his party is going ahead with the planned Congress scheduled for
December. He also reportedly said he is not going to give way to Barrow
to lead the party, should the party’s membership decide to nominate him
to run for UDP Secretary General.

“Mr. Darboe is a sad man today. He is not only angry at Barrow, but
he is also disappointed by the ignorance exhibited by Barrow during his
meeting with the UDP delegation. He felt that Barrow is ignorant of the
UDP Constitution and US domestic politics. Mr. Darboe is fuming. He said
he is considering resigning from the party before Barrow will set the
UDP on fire. He doesn’t think that Barrow is sincere to the UDP and its
membership,” said a close aide of Ousainou Darboe, who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
“It is Mr. Darboe’s fervent belief that Barrow is out to destabilize
the party. He kept saying that he cannot continue to work with a
“divisive and polarizing leader” like Barrow. He felt being disrespected
by Adama Barrow. He even shed tears when he was talking to some trusted
aides. He couldn’t believe the news that he was hearing from Banjul.
That Barrow thinks that he owns the party and her membership. Darboe has
flooded the idea of him resigning from the Government to some trusted
colleagues in the party, but he was asked to stay on the job until
Barrow’s true motives are discerned,” our source added.
In his address last night to the UDP delegation, who met him at the
State House, Adama Barrow said, even in the United States sitting
Presidents never face an opposition from their respective parties during
Convention. Though that statement of Barrow is inaccurate. President
Jimmy Carter, Ford and others were opposed during Conventions organized
by their respective parties.
In the meantime, UDP MPS are supposed to meet today to discuss
Barrow’s claims that he will not allow an opposition within the UDP, as
far as the position of flag bearer is concerned. We will keep you posted
with developments
