Kareem Musa, “This is a Litmus Test.”

For the past few months, quite a lot has been invested in the upcoming municipal elections.  So much so that one would think that both parties are actually gearing up for general elections.  The reality is that the big dance is only a year or so away and everything is being invested to secure a victory on either side.  When we caught up with Caribbean Shores Area Representative Kareem Musa, he shared his views on the upcoming municipals.

“How is the People’s United Party looking at the municipal elections? It’s only a year between the next one.”

 

Kareem Musa, Area Rep, Caribbean Shores

“This, as you know, is the first big elections after the general elections and so there is that mobilization nationally, across the country.  We are of course looking at this as a litmus test, so to speak, but definitely the energy is there across the country and you can feel the victory in the air.  The spirit, the vibes, the love, everything is there and the people are saying they want the People’s United Party again.”

“Were you putting in a huge effort?  The numbers seem to be smaller than what we’ve seen before

 

Kareem Musa

“No, I think this is a robust showing by the People’s United Party this morning.  I think other constituencies brought a larger crowd, but I was asked to bring out a hundred which I did.  Quite easily.”
