P.U.P. Looks to Financiers to Help Fund Campaign

With the general election on the horizon, though no date has been set, Prime Minister Briceño says the P.U.P. expects financiers to step up and fund their campaign. On Tuesday, during his appearance on Open Your Eyes, Lord Michael Ashcroft suggested that party financiers could take a vacation with their money, claiming the P.U.P. has essentially secured a second term. However, Briceño has a different take on the matter.

“Any election cost money and I think that Mr. Ashcroft said that tongue in cheek because we have not asked him for no money and we won’t ask him for money. But our local financiers are helping us because we have been a good government. Our economy has grown tremendously. I think the last numbers I have it was like thirty point five percent, up to 2023, 2024, not to the end of 2024. So, we have done tremendous work and all business people have benefited form the work we have done. So, I am hoping and expecting they are going to provide some finances. It is expensive to run a campaign. It does not matter about the opposition. But, you have to put campaigners, get T-shirts, so many things, the TV ads, all of these things that has to be done.”
