U.D.P. Flexes Political Muscle in Toledo East

In Punta Gorda campaigning along with U.D.P. Standard Bearer Dennis ‘Desho’ Williams is Party Leader Shyne Barrow.  We were unable to speak with Williams today, as he was out of the service area campaigning.  We got a word with the Leader of the Opposition who says that there has been a seismic shift in Toledo East where the U.D.P. has gained significant grounds since the November 2020 general elections.

 

Shyne Barrow, Party Leader, U.D.P.

“We have been working for the last eleven weeks.  We are fortunate that we had the upper hand because the People’s United Party did not have their candidate until they had a convention.  And so, we had at least another thirty days head start to get the work done and, fortunately, Desho Williams has been in the constituency his entire life, but has been here as the caretaker, then standard bearer for the last three and a half years.  So he has done the groundwork, the people know him, the people like him very much and the people are prepared to give him a chance; U.D.P.s and P.U.P.s, because I can tell you that the People‘s United Party is extremely unpopular. So things have made a dramatic shift here in PG Town since the 2020 general elections where we lost by a thousand and in the 2021 municipal elections where even the independent mayoral candidate got votes than us.  So we’ve come quite a long distance and we expect that tomorrow that will culminate with Desho Williams becoming the next area representative for Toledo East.”
