Lee Mark Chang is Officially Running in Mesop.

Lee Mark Chang has thrown his hat into the ring for Mesopotamia. Although he lost in Freetown over a decade ago and again in Caribbean Shores in 2020, this time there’s a more sinister twist—his candidacy seems aimed at unseating Area Representative Moses ‘Shyne’ Barrow. Chang is no stranger to Mesopotamia; his family’s food business was once also located on Euphrates Avenue, and he went to primary school just a stone’s throw away. Now, he’s back in his old stomping grounds, running under the leadership of Tracy Panton, who insists that Barrow is the problem in the UDP and must be ousted at all costs.

 

Tracy Taegar-Panton, Area Rep., Albert Division

“It is clear to us that the problem in this party is Shyne Barrow. It is clear to us that it is he who is the dismantling our democracy and it is he who is the greatest thereat to the success of our party in the upcoming elections and after the elections are over the UDP can only rebuild if Shyne is not the leader of the party or not the leader of the opposition in the house and he can be neither of those if he is not a member of the house. Our choice is therefore very clear, either Shyne agrees to accept the will of the delegates made clear on October twentieth or we will work to ensure that he is not successful in his bid to remain the area rep for Mesop. Today therefore my colleagues and I are happy and privileged to support Lee Mark Chang in announcing his candidacy for the Mesop constituency. It is our view that brave undertaking will effectively ensure that Shyne does not win in Mesop.”
