Opposition leader Femi Peters said on Wednesday predicted that the 2011 Presidential election will be 'the mother of all elections' as the opposition will fight tooth and tail to oust President Yahya Jammeh.

Peters, United Democratic Party (UDP) campaign manager, was reacting to comments made by Lamin Waa Juwara, a former opposition leader and now governor of the North Bank Region, that if all goes well, President Jammeh will win the 2011 Presidential elections by a landslide.

Waa said in a recent interview that, 'It is my candid opinion and observation that all being well, President Jammeh will win the next Presidential elections by a landslide because as of now, there is no credible opposition to challenge him. We must admit our total failure.'

The UDP Campaign Manager said if anybody believes that President Jammeh is going to win the next election with a landslide victory, that person must be living in a dream-land.
