About the flag

The flag of FLING is shown in one of the ballot papers reported (Bissau-28), as #4. It is a white flag with the party emblem centered on it above dark blue extra bold sans-serif capitals reading "FLING". The emblem shows three crop plants, set 2+1 (maize, rice? and what?). The flag ratio is roughly 5:7 as most others’ in the ballot papers are.
