Mesop Resident Denounces Shyne Barrow  

Geraldine Tillett has been a long-standing resident of the Mesopotamia Division and a stalwart supporter of the United Democratic Party. She presented the motion for the recall of her Area Representative, Moses “Shyne” Barrow, as U.D.P. Leader at Sunday’s Alliance Convention. And she told News Five that while she voted for Barrow in the last election, there was no way she could support him in the next one, so she transferred her vote out of the constituency.

 

Geraldine Tillett, Resident, Mesopotamia

“Basically, I was a big supporter of Shyne, but then I realised that Shyne is destroying this party because of his attitude, his dictatorial ways. And I refuse to have him destroy a party that I have been working for since I was eighteen years old. I will not allow that to happen.”

“So, come the next general election, when you get a chance to vote for him..”

 

Geraldine Tillett

“Not voting for him, not voting for him.”

 

Marion Ali

“Will you vote against the party this year?”

 

Geraldine Tillett

“No, I’m not voting against the party. I’m not in the division again. I transferred. I transferred my vote because I refuse to vote for him. But I will not go against my party, so I prefer to go somewhere where I know my vote will be counted because I will not…”

Marion Ali

“You relocated elsewhere?”

 

Geraldine Tillett

“[Pauses] I will not answer that.”
