Roseau North contenders in war of words

Timothy (left) and Lugay are both confident of winning the Roseau North seat

The two contenders hoping to capture the Roseau North Seat in the upcoming general election are now caught up in a war of words as the campaign heats up.

The incumbent Dominica Labour Party’s Julius Timothy has labeled his opponent, Danny Lugay of the United Workers Party (UWP), as “not a factor” in the race, while Lugay described Timothy’s statement as an act of desperation.

“It reeks of desperation that an incumbent, a respected man like Mr. Timothy, could be on the air saying that Danny Lugay, a young politician is a non factor,” Lugay said.

At a press conference on Monday, Timothy said he was confident of winning Roseau North again.

“I mean we have put things in place, we are doing our work…” he stated.

He pointed out that even pollsters are saying Roseau North is too close to call.

“If they can say that, we are confident,” Timothy, who is also the health minister, said. “The truth is Danny Lugay is not a factor in Roseau North. Let me tell you, the opposition UWP is a factor, but Danny Lugay as a candidate is not a factor in Roseau North, so I am not really worried about that,” Timothy remarked.

But, according to Lugay, Timothy is not welcome in several hamlets in Roseau North.

“As a matter of fact last week Saturday, I was told that he went on the ground giving drinks to young men and he was chased out of certain areas in the Roseau North Constituency,” Lugay stated.

He remarked that in the 2009 election, the seat was “robbed” because of several charters which were flown in from Antigua, the US and the French islands.

“It was desperation on Mr. Timothy’s part,” he stated. “Five years later he is less welcomed…”

He noted that Timothy should concentrate on the number of unemployed young people in the consituency.

“I think Roseau North has the highest population of unemployed youth,” Lugay stated, pointing out that he has presented a plan for the constituency that concentrates on creating employment.

“From 2009 I have presented a plan for Roseau North,” Lugay noted. “I have never seen a plan by Julius Timothy for Roseau North.”

He said his plan is available both in hard and electronic copies for all to see.

In the 2009 general election, Timothy won 50.3 percent, or 1,655, of the total votes, while Lugay 46.7 percent or 1,538 votes.

    Just a gentle reminder that I have been supporting Mr timothy since the pope was an alter boy to now, But times have changed . Poverty has increased, corruption has sky-rocketed and so on while this Government and their cronies are the ones benefitting the most from this Tied UP ,Lazy and incompetent LABOUR PARTY. LIKE I WOULD CALL YOU “TIM” If you’re a smart man which I know you are , please just UP and leave while you can still drag yourself away from this mess .MONEY is not all TIM.DANNY LUGAY should be of no concern to you if your walls are the walls of the old TIM, but now it seems you’re grabbing at straws.

    JUST A REMINDER , everyone who has been drowning in the past and has grabbed at straws still drowned!!…

    Please come back to Dominoes and leave this corrupt train wreck itself without you aboard.

    While Tim Tim is talking big, it is rumored, in the goodwill constituency, Irene is Skeritt’s choice. Presently, she is out of state and is in China on DLP business. Expect a major announcement when she returns to Dominica.

    My fellow Labourites have no fear!!! The fact is that this election is strictly to honor the Democratic process and nothing else. The mere numbers of our beloved party alone is enough to give all our Ministers and our Divine and Ordained Prime Minister absolute confidence in a landslide victory! I mean, honestly, over sixty thousand (60,000) loyal Labourites on Island plus an additional twenty to twenty-five thousand (20,000-25,000) in the Diaspora is enough to simply laugh at Liar Loser Linton and his team of Dummies!

    Mr Timothy should stop playing big daddy n stop using dismissive words at this time in Roseau north. These are obvious signs of a man who is afraid. Truth be told, not only Mr Timothy alone should get pressure for the poor state of affairs in Dominica. This entire government is a failure. Time to vote out Tim tim. Why Tim Tim end talking about ebola n encouraging Dominicans to practice good health habits. Tim tim, there is nothing you n your comrades can do right now to clean the mess in each and every sector in Dominica… Does Tim Tim know gutter, tarish pit, n the other communities who voted for him because of uwp…. pressure black is white cause of no work,,, but tim tim n dem eating steak n can fly foreign when they sick,,
    Uwp alone can set ghetto n poor people free. Danni keep doing your ground work n stop having words with the failed government. They can’t go up anymore, it’s down hill so keep even calm, Team Dominica.
    The real issue is to vote labour out because of a huge failure rate. 14 YES OF NO PROGRESS, TIME TO GO N PLANT FIG N DASHEEN, OH NO, THEY HAVE NFL DOLLARS SAVED…..

    Mr. Timothy please, it is time for you to take some time off and concentrate on your health. Something is happening to you which i have never seen before. You were a healthy man when you were a member of the UWP now you can hardly remember, can hardly speak and you clearly do not look happy. You better watch your back just remember what happen to our beloved Pierro and he was never a UWP member. Now please tell us what is the real reason why you left the UWP again? was is it greed, because your achievements are minimal.

        danny mentioned something like that and he became a better man wen he stood up and apologise to the nation and his pple, but can u remember wen a cadidate man almost the same even worst statement on the platform i think in wesley or marigot. i think it was about alkida some other things, but that candidate didnt apologise. so stop bein narrow minded, look at THE FACTS, we dominican r suffering, no jobs, no money, all the labour candidates are worried abt there pockets, mostly all of them build there big empire. äll shall it they say”, u mean the pple who already hav will get more and those who don’t shall get poorer. i live at roseau north, a well developed place, and i hav never never never seem timothy in this place. not because it is develop that doesn’t mean u cant pass der.
        one other question. 2 pple wnt to take care of u, ur father and ur grand aunt, ur father always making promises that he cant keep, now ur grand aunt always pass by to see how things r wit u, and she tells u that she will take care of u maybe assisting u the little she can. who wud u go wit?

    Since the 2009 General Election results in the Roseau North Constituency was so close, the incumbent Parliamentary Representative have every reason to be concerned about his future in that constituency. Mr. Timothy’s suggestion that the UWP is a factor in the upcoming General Election but that his opponent Mr. Lugay is not speaks volume… His utterances are therefore cowardly in my humble opinion, an act of desperation, and fearful of his future political career.
    If according to Julius Timothy, UWP is a factor in the upcoming General Elction that Danny Lugay ought to be a factor since Danny Lugay is a part of the UWP Team Dominica… unless there is some undermining going on since I heard Linton negotiated with Timothy that if UWP win 10 seats and Timothy win Roseau North they will offer him the post of Prime Minister to jump ship again… LOL LOOK RORO

    Roseau North under Julius Timothy:

    -High unemployment
    -Road network in a state of disrepair.
    -Inadequate sporting facilities (Lindo Park, Pottersville Savanna.
    -Mushrooming teenage pregnancy

    ….. and the list goes on

    • The Facts
      October 21, 2014

      Are some of you blind and deaf that you overlook or ignore or that you do not know exactly what is the government’s responsibility?
      The government owes no one a sporting facility. There are parks in D/ca. Make your own. You help those youths to construct one. Put your money where your mouth is.
      As for teenage pregnancy, this has absolutely nothing to do with the government. Blame it on the slackness and immorality and ever increasingly so of those teens. With each passing day and year they become worst. They cannot control their bodies even at a young age. What will become of them as they grow older? Godless little ones they are. They will pay the price. They need severe admonishment.
      What type of parents do they have and what type of discipline they receive at home? How obedient are they to their parents? How much freedom they have as teens and school-age children especially at nights?
      They who have babies before they are adults, when they become adults by this time they already have a few babies with different partners, are the cause of unemployment and poverty and contribute to same. They are contributing nothing good to their country except having babies with different partners and out of wedlock. Then you cry the people are poor and unemployed.
      Putting it mildly, it is being narrow-minded and wicked to blame the attitude of such people on the government as if the government gave them the OK to live immoral lives.

        ” THE FACT” poverty is one of the highest cause of teenage pregnacy, cuz there parents cant afford to give them wat they need, its not der fault that they get pregnant. dont quote me wrong. i’m not saying that they should go out der and hav unprotected sex, na. so teenagers get pregnant to get out of there situation, some men fool them promise them the world get them pregnant and leave doe evn study the child.
        now on that point about sporting facilities, iight ur rite they own no one a sporting facility but why go out there makin promises that u cant keep.

    UWP Supporters must take heed of what Mr Timothy is saying. He said that “they are putting things in place” to win the seat. If the seat was stolen as Danny says, what makes him think that it will not be stolen again?
    Remember Timothy is warning you all………they are putting “things in place”. UWP supporters….instead of getting all excited and defensive, you all need to do your ground work, organize and work ten times harder to ensure that the Roseau North and all the other winnable seats are protected. These guys are loaded with tonnes of money and they will do whatever it takes to remain in power. So people be wise and do not be complacent.

    This type of confidence worries me but not in the way people may think. The UWP needs to be on the ball as I have a strong suspicion that the person brought in almost 1 year ago to revamp the filing system for the gov’t (well according to his contract) may be involved in some shady dealings to give the Labour party an unfair advantage. My warning to UWP is to keep your eyes wide open, check every change in the electoral list and ensure your agents are hard at work on Elections day to prevent any fraudulent activity. It’s bad enough that DA is yet to benefit from electoral reform but it would be even worse if the people of this country end up with a government that they did not vote in. Lord, please help this country.

    Is Timothy serious. You win an election by 117 votes and you talking about non factor. Let’s be real. You are not healthy and is no capacity to be going up for election. As health minister it is a joke. Secondly, it is clear that UWP has put together a good team and people are fed up with skerrits antics as a result danny lugay is likely to keep his votes while those who voted you as a UWP candidate initially may go back to the party. I doubt many former freedomites will vote labour.
    In Dominica the only constituencies that do not vote with there brains are Portsmouth and grandbay. You can put up a donkey dress it in red they will vote labour. The rest of the country has proven that they can use common sense and I believe Dominicans are not as stupid as the prme minister want them to believe. Remember freedom lost and UWP spend 4.5 yrs. They did accomplish a lot. It is clear they have a better group of individuals this time around and Dominica would be crazy not to have them in to stop this madness. Even Mr. Timothy will agree they are a factor.

        No I will not. Tell me which other constituency that has never switched party since our independence. Grandbay and possie are the only two I know. I may be wrong and someone can correct me. It tells that the other constituencies are capable to change. Why else would every person with a last name Douglas want to go up in possie? Cause that’s the only place they stand a chance. Rosie contested the paix bouch constituency with Jenner armor back in the days because their families ran the two main estates in the area and most people in the constituency at the time worked for them.
        The record thus far has shown that both grandbay and Possi will be red no matter how neglected they are. This is the kind of ignorance the labour party depend on to keep them in power.

      There is a reason why youths are unemployed. Did those youths complete elementary and high school? What was their demeanor when they attended school? Did they drop-out of school or not?
      Some people do not weigh out situations and think before they speak and write. All those who state there is unemployment among the youths, must answer those questions. What caused them to be unemployed? Whose fault is it that they are unemployed?
      If they had the opportunity to attend school and they dropped out of school or did not complete school and did not pass the end of term final exam in order to graduate, who are you blaming for this? You must place the blame where it belongs and do not be gullible and blame the government which is what you insinuated.

        And to come back to your first point: So because somebody didn’t attain a secondary school education that means they’re not employable?

        In North America and England and Europe, these are the people working in factories and assembly lines, etc.

        So, my point is, get your tin god Skerritt to put down a few agro-processing factories to employ and empower the youth and stop running all over the place throwing fyior for people.

    It was heart breaking hearing Mr Timothy grappling with simple words and still lamenting about UWP denying him leadership of the party. At Timothy’s situation it would serve him well to let go of this animosity and drop the unnecessary stress. Besides that Timothy said publicly that Skerrit would make a better PM and minister of finance than he would so it was reasonable to conclude that the entire leadership thing was no longer important to Timothy. But 15 years later Timothy is still using the UWP leadership debacle to get sympathy votes.
    If Timothy really feel the need ththosr e challenge anyone who questions his ability then he should look at his sorrounding and ask those around him why it is that they continue to trash his work as minister of finance and also why it is that Skerrit thinks that no other person in his cabinet and in Dominica is capable of directing the ministry of finance any one else will “mash up the country”.
    Timothy has lost so much more respect particularly as we see him become a paper doll to Skerrit and the Labor Party.

All I have to say is RING THE ELECTION BELL!!!! Timothy has his issues clearly with Eddison James and that’s that. Timothy is out of touch with reality. Cecil Joseph and Timothy having daily war of words.

    20 seats well CALL IT NAH?

        The money tree is still small and growing. We are waiting to see when it will sprout up and flower. Dominicans will be filthy rich overnight. Let them depend on it and see what will happen. Big disappointment. :lol:

    In the 2009 general election, Timothy won 50.3 percent, or 1,655, of the total votes, while Lugay 46.7 percent or 1,538 votes.

    DNO, thanks for putting out the final vote counts of the 2009 general election. According to the result, Timothy narrowly won but in actuality, Mr. Danny Lugay won. Here is why: I have been a UWP since 1990 thanks to Julius Timothy. In fact I am more a fan of Timothy than a supporter of UWP and would support TimTim wherever he went. However, I can take it no more…my conscience burning me and has been since the last election. It is a fact that persons from the USA, Antigua, USVI and Guadaloupe were specifically flown to vote for Timothy. It is public knowledge and UWP and DLP know that. But here is what UWP does not know. In that same election it is A FACT that about 4:pm on polling day, TimTim and the DLP paid all poll workers,by this I mean, those that were working in polling stations as DLP supporters as well as those from UWP, as well as government workers working in the Roseau North Constituency, were all paid big money. when votes were being counted, it is a fact that many votes that wre clearly in favor of UWP, were counted as DLP votes, since everyone got paid. So UWP better becareful this time to ensure that those working in polling stations are truly strong supporters of UWP and not people that will be bribed. DNO, there is living proof to substantiate this confession. Trust me, it is NOT an allegation!!

    Hello and good afternoon my people . Well how can Mr Timothy say that Mr Lugay isn’t a factor but in the same breath he is saying that Pollsters are saying the race is to close to call. He also said that UWP is a factor but Mr Lugay isn’t a factor. With this type of statement Mr Timothy is telling me that he don’t understand how to run a Political campaign or his recent stroke is clouding his judgement.

    That is quite a narrow margin so what he talking about. I am sure he has even lost more supporters.

    At a press conference on Monday, Timothy said he was confident of winning Roseau North again.

    He pointed out that even pollsters are saying Roseau North is too close to call. “If they can say that, we are confident,” Timothy, who is also the health minister, said.
    But my good friend Tim Tim is more sick than I thought man? I mean somebody has to be very sick to say “pollsters I guess DLP pollsters) are saying Roseau North is too close to call” and yet he saying Danny Lugay, his only opponent, is not a factor? Bro you are very sick!
    So Timothy agrees that the opposition UWP is a factor? So if the UWP is a factor in the upcoming election and according to Tim, Lugay is not a factor, is he suggesting that if he wins his seat he will either try to join the UWP or be an independent voice? Well Tim Tim, we don’t want crooks in the UWP and UWP is more than just a factor in the next election but I will go as far as saying UWP SHALL form the next government.
    “The truth is Danny Lugay is not a factor in Roseau North. Let me tell you, the opposition UWP is a factor, but Danny Lugay as a candidate is not a factor in Roseau North, so I am not really worried about that,” Timothy remarked

    Tim Tim if you so not leave politics, politics will leave you… You sound way out of touch with reality…A man must know when to call it quits…You have been in politics since in the time of the Committee Fpr National Salvation when Labour was overthrown in 1979.. Everyone else who was there at the time either die or retire form politics.
    TIME UP…PACK UP…

    the seat was robbed in 2009 by labour party because they flew in people. the uwp flew in people but the general public did not want them. labour will still win in 2014 general election.

    How can Timothy sink so low? He continues to allow the Labour Party to ridicule his stint as Minister of Finance by consistently calling him corrupt and now he says the constituency is too close to call yet he says his opponent is not a factor.
    I would like to feel sorry for Timothy but I cannot, a man cannot be so sadistic to himself. Timothy all the signs are there that you should go, do so voluntarily and save yourself the embarrassment of being kicked out.

    From corner of his mouth Tim Tim said that even the pollsters are saying the race is to close to call and from the other corner he is saying that Danny is not a factor? Confused much Timothy?

    It was really closer than I remember ! WOW and Danny is a none factor? Julius mad man… it does not matter that if it is due to the UWP he is a factor but he obviously is. 46.7 and 50.3!

    And the DFP got 90 votes in Roseau North in the last election—something. So Timothy is wrong- Lugay is quite a contender. I would put my betting money on Lugay to win this seat.- unless it is stolen………

      How are u saying that votes can be stolen, so tell me, when the UWP was the ruling party, did the DLP stole the votes from them?

    At last, Tim Tim has found some confidence to speak. A few weeks ago, Tim Tim was silent because Cecil was his headache. . What Skerrit has done was to give Cecil that big job at DBS so as to cool him down. It is Skeritt’s belief, Tim Tim is more important to the DLP now, as it is hoped he will bring UWP voters over to the DLP. Right now help from the Freedom Party is dwindling.

      Great analysis my friend..could not have said it better. However, in all fairness to Mr. Timothy whom I used to admire and actually come from a family in his constituency who all voted for him (6 votes, but NOT AGAIN!!!!) should heed the advice of his close friends and family and leave this stressful, disresptful job alone. He has done his share for the country (good or bad) and now he should focus on his health. Skerro is just using him as far as I can see and that is sad seeing that already the “alleged” abuse of women case has increased the stress level on him 8) and others. Tim-Tim SHALL NOT AND CANNOT win the seat this time around.

      Hartley “the great” :lol: has already told Skerro but Cescil would have been a bigger disaster and the person they asked to run in his place refused deepening the quagmire ( that person is actually a Team Dominica supporter underneath). Even Tim-Tim knows that Change Is A Must!

      Assertive, NOT Agressive! :twisted:

    I think Timothy in politics to long.. you pointing out that even pollsters are saying Roseau North is too close to call. but yet the guy not a factor. when will this guy stop making a fool of him self. first you go and have press conference talking about how u all put things is place and confident the one band was fine to travel. next day your PM had press conference make you look like a fool. Now pollsters are saying this it to close to call bu the opposition not a factor.. Only some one that has no concept of reality would be so willing to come off so idiotic time and time again.
