4th UDP Candidate A-No Show

Reports reaching News 5 indicate that Dennis Williams of the UDP did not show up on Nomination Day for the Toledo East. He is the fourth UDP candidate to have not shown up. The PUP’s candidate, Dr. Osborne Martinez, will still be challenged by an independent candidate and a third-party member.

This is what we reported earlier:

With nominations closed at 4:00 p.m. today, two divisions will see PUP Standard Bearers running unopposed. This marks a historic moment in the country’s electoral process, as Anthony Mahler of Pickstock and Henry Usher of Fort George faced no challengers. Under the Barrow UDP faction, Dean Samuels was expected to be nominated, and so was Melvin Hewlett in Fort George. Meanwhile, in Dangriga Town, supporters waited on their UDP candidate, who did not show up.
