It has been brought to the notice of the United Progressive Party (UPP) and Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, its candidate for the St. Mary’s South, that operatives of the Antigua Labour Party are engaged in criminal activities to undermine the upcoming byelection.
There are reports that residents are being offered cash for the surrender of their voter identification cards – with the specific objective of suppressing support for Mr. Simon.
Such transactions are a criminal offense, according to the Representation of the People Act. Accordingly, the UPP is offering a reward of $10,000 to anyone who can present credible evidence that can lead to the prosecution of the person(s) engaged in this offense.
“The buying of the by-election must not be allowed to go unrecorded and, subsequently, unchallenged,” the UPP Leadership says. “The people’s right to elect the person they wish to represent them should not be subverted by means of bribery, inducement, or threats. Elections must be won honestly. Democracy demands no less.”
Persons having credible evidence of any such offense are encouraged to contact Mr. Simon; any member of the UPP Leadership; or the UPP Secretariat, at 462-1818, for the confidential handling of said information.

The ALP administration will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the people. However, democracy must prevale. The people of SMS must never give in to totallerterian politics.
Voter’s card should be diligently checked to allow legal Voters the rights to keep ALP out of SMS. Victory must be restored to SMS.
This sounds laughable. Every election, the opposition comes up with this ridiculous claim when they believe that their chances of winning is in question. They always attempt to portray their party and a paragon of virtue. Ironically, they’re offering money, 10K to “catch the criminal(s)” How laughable. This is going nowhere. Just a sham of pretentiousness. If your side wins, celebrate. If the ABLP candidate wins, be magnanimous in defeat. All this unnecessary drama means nothing in the scheme of things. Trying to intimidate constituents for exercising their democratic right is unacceptable.
Carry on…
