Shyne Appeals Decision of EBC on Red for Election Day

The High Court is now looking into the Elections and Boundaries Commission’s decision to allow both factions of the United Democratic Party to use red on Election Day. Shyne Barrow argues that some people claiming to be U.D.P. members are not authorized by the party’s executive to be candidates or represent the party. He believes they are trying to exploit the goodwill and reputation of the organization he leads. The U.D.P.’s executive members and authorized candidates are seriously concerned and frustrated about the potential for ‘splitting the vote’ if unauthorized individuals, including those from the Alliance for Democracy Party, use the ‘traditional U.D.P. red’ colors associated with the party.
