Barrow Plans to Step Down If UDP Fails in 2025 General Elections  

Leader of the Opposition, Moses “Shyne” Barrow says he will step aside from his leadership role should the U.D.P. fail in the 2025 general elections. Barrow also says that other party members will have to face the fact that some of them stand a better chance of succeeding at the polls while others will have to sit out the general elections.

“And I have already indicated that my vision is that we cut the fat and we narrow down to the eighteen that we believe can win and have honest conversations with our colleagues, not contentious, not anything disrespectful, not anything dismissive, but truthful in saying that you know what these colleagues have a better chance of winning, and your chances of winning are not as good and please understand that we have to focus on these colleagues because in the general elections it is win or die. Unless we make significant gains, I will allow someone else to come in. I believe my father did that in 2005. I believe he only gained a few seats in the House of Representatives and he said he would make way. The party asked him to stay on. I definitely will give my all for the general elections and I will do everything to make every adjustment, do every retooling, every adjustment so that we can have success, because we need to take it extremely seriously. We see all of the distractions, the interferences, all the monies will go.”
