U.D.P. Supports Desho for Toledo East

The United Democratic Party has chosen Dennis Williams as standard bearer for the upcoming Toledo East bye-elections and the party has hit the ground running in canvassing the constituency.  As we reported earlier this week, Party Leader Shyne Barrow met with several U.D.P. officials in the south, including former Area Representative Peter Eden Martinez, former Punta Gorda Mayor Ashton McKenzie and Franklyn Polonio to strategize a victory for the U.D.P.  Williams will run against a People’s United Party candidate to fill the void left in the wake of Mike Espat’s recent passing.

 

Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition

“Desho is a student protégé of the Eden Martinez school who was successful against Iron Mike in 2008 and he was very instrumental in bringing Eden in.  And so, I am very confident in his ability to deliver Toledo East for the United Democratic Party.  He has paid his dues and he has been there since the victory of Eden Martinez who took out Iron Mike and I am confident that whoever the People‘s United Party candidate is, and I know they have their own division and their own civil war happening right now in Toledo East, I am confident that he will be able to deliver Toledo East for the United Democratic Party.”
