P.M. Briceño and Lawrence Ellis Campaigns in Mesop

This afternoon, Prime Minister John Briceño toured the Mesopotamia constituency with the People’s United Party candidate, Lawrence Ellis. The residents of Mesopotamia have been loyal to the United Democratic Party since 1979. With just thirteen days left until the March twelfth general election, the P.U.P. is hopeful that this time, the majority will rally behind their candidate.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“I am convinced we have a very good candidate here in Mesopotamia and this division has been represented by the U.D.P. since 1979. When you look at what has happened over those years, it is a shame that the U.D.P. has controlled this division, yet they have done very little. Now we have a candidate that grew up in this area. While he did not grow up in Mesopotamia he grew up in Queen square, next door. When he came to talk to me and say this is something he wants to do, I grilled him and said, are you sure this is something you want to do, because you are going to go into a division that is very tough, traditional U.D.P. But he explained that he live sin the area, knows the people and understand what is the challenges and he believes that being a business person he can come up with innovative ways to help people in Mesopotamia division.”

 

Lawrence Ellis, P.U.P. Candidate, Mesopotamia

“This visit is a clear indication that the leadership of the P.U.P. is willing to work and take back Mesop. I am working hard n this division every day. The people of Mesop need to understand that there is no future in the U.D.P. They have been here for forty-six years and this division is lacking in many ways. So, my presence and the prime minister’s presence is a clear indication that the P.U.P. is ready to take back Mesop for the people of Mesop.”
