After three weeks of propagandizing the legitimacy of Kelvin Simon’s resignation as the Member of Parliament for St. Mary’s South, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that the ABLP is preparing for a by-election in St. Mary’s South. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.
Simon’s resignation effective 8th June triggered a by-election, which constitutionally must be held within 120 days and he will officially launch his re-election campaign with a Public Rally on 6th July at Bolans Playing Field at 7pm.
During the general elections in January 2023, Simon overwhelmingly defeated incumbent Samantha Marshall, the Antigua Labour Party candidate, by 199 votes. However, he was later served with a petition challenging his right to sit in Parliament. Simon viewed this legal challenge as a deliberate attempt to frustrate the will of the people and to hijack democracy.
“The constituents of St. Mary’s South elected me convincingly before, and I am confident that they will do so again. St. Mary’s South has been neglected by Samantha Marshall and we are getting ready to send her an even stronger message that her time is up. Under my leadership we will work together to create a future that everyone in the community can believe in and be a part of, “Simon says.
In an environment where good community ideas often get bogged down with politics and bureaucracy, Shugy continues to demonstrate that much can be achieved when the community works together. Distinguished by his combination of business acumen, creativity and people skills, this former national athlete is well-known as an influencer in the community, who does not wait for things to happen, but makes things happen.
This 15-year veteran in the Public Service in Antigua and Barbuda, served as a guidance counselor at the St. Mary’s Secondary school for six (6) years, Ottos Comprehensive School for two (2) years and the Villa Primary School for seven (7) years. Simon is passionate about developing and mentoring young minds and this remains a major driving force in his commitment to youth empowerment.
During his short tenure as a Member of Parliament, Simon demonstrated his ability to help meet the needs of the community through effective mobilization and partnerships. A well-known community activist, he is the co-founder of “Project Bolans,” a group formed out of love for the community and the desire to see it move in a positive direction. This group routinely organizes sporting tournaments, community clean ups and food distribution drives to support the needy.
