UWP to host Annual Delegates Convention

The United Workers Party (UWP) will host its Annual Delegates Convention at the Government Primary School in Grand Fond on Sunday 29th April, 2018 from 12:30 p.m.

At that Convention, every Executive Position within the Management Structure of the Party shall be democratically contested. All of these positions shall be filled through a nominations process that will usher in a new Executive energized to take the Party into the next General Elections, which will inevitably lead to the UWP forming the next Government in the Commonwealth of Dominica.

There are expectations that epic battles to fill these Management and Leadership positions at that Convention will emerge, these include:
a. Party Political Leader and the Deputy
b. Party President and the Deputy
c. General Secretary and Assistant
d. International Secretary
e. Treasurer and Assistant

Nominations shall also be entertained to fill the positions of Trustees, as well as Ordinary Members of the Party Executive.

    So why couldn’t Joseph Isaac, if he is an astute political mind, wait a couple weeks whilst doing his ground work and line up support for him to stand for leadership of the UWP ? No, this shows that Isaac is hungry for power, position and the crumbs which Skerritt doles out for political patronage.Isaac has been a Judas all along.I’m waiting to see him change the tenor, tone and direction of the Labour Party since he didn’t like that of the UWP.I’m waiting to see the letter he sent to the speaker of the House of Assembly as he had promised to accommodate him as an independent.All eyes are on you Joseph with Skerritt on one hand and the voters of Roseau Central and UWP supporters on the other.

    If Dominicans fail (this time) to vote for UWP in the next election; then they will suck salt, lime and pepper collectively.

      You mean if Dominicans vote in the UWP in the next election that is what will happen to us.

    Epic battles my big toe! Edison maybe cringes every time he thinks of the party he built. Gone to the dogs under this man. Every three months is a scandal, an uprising within the organization.

  5. April 25, 2018

    Well we know LL not going anywhere! That’s the only job he can keep. Because everybody in UWP camp fraid him. The minute you oppose the man, you are thrown to the UWP dogs. They lambaste you, threaten you and belittle you so you hurt to the core. This is why the smart ones run. Ronnie and Isaac left because of they came to the realization that LL is no good. But keep him as allu leader papa, because Dominicans know better than to vote such a crass novice in office.

      So true. ..As long as LL remains leader it’d a sure win for us…

    Lead the way Brother Lenox Lead the way for all of Dominicans to get back our country like the way it used to be .
    Bring back de milk and honey.
    Currently there are
    Poor education system
    poor road networks
    poor medical system
    no industries to bring in hard cash
    no agricultural industry
    no tourism
    we produce nothing.

    Let the woke of iniquity be removed from our shoulders and UWP will bring grace and tranquility back to Dominica.

  8. The Evangelist?
    April 24, 2018

    The question Dominicans should be asking is, when are we going to reject the evil one and make Mr. Lennox Linton prime minister? We should not even be taking about uwp. We need to go back to the Bible and see God’s qualification for a leader. Let’s take a look below and tell me who is qualified and who is not qualified. According to Skerrit don’t blame me blame God because I am simply quoting bible
    NIV 1 Timothy 3:16
    Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
    1Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of fulla respect. 5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?

  9. My little take
    April 24, 2018

    I don’t always agree with the style of Mr. Linton especially the talking aspect where I think he needs to be a little slower in making statements, but taking everything into consideration, especially the fact that everybody seems to be afraid to open their mouth, I have no doubt that Mr. Linton is the best person to lead uwp at this time, but the man is the BEST person to lead Dominica out of the mess and very dark pit hole Roosevelt Skerrit and the DLP put Dominica in. I will even go as far as saying that I don’t see anyone in Dominica at this time, that is capable of saving Dominica. We need an honest person, a person that will put country before personal interest, a person that can make a strong case for Dominica locally, regionally and internationally and a person that our international friends that we lost under Skerrit, can trust and work with for the betterment of Dominica’. To be blunt, if not Mr Linton as Pm, we might as well plan to migrate becauseright now? Da finish

    All those people that saying change LL are just a bunch of Skerrittes who are just dead scared of LL :-D :-D :-D

    But UWP has nobody else unless they Introduce Chegon James of the James dynasty. Put chegon in marigot ;make him leader see how many young people will follow UWP. Throw lennox somewhere though I doubt he can win anywhere else. He may stand a change replacing Hector in Salisbury but he has to change residence. :mrgreen:

      What….you want to bring Hon Linton below the level of intelligence where you all and your failed along with your inept Leader of your corrupt bobolist Labour Party? Well that will not happen. To talk this trash tells us that there is nothing new and of substance that will come out from your Corrupt Labour Government. Go clean up your backyard first before you start throwing stones at the very decent UWP political Party that you and political clowns are scared of. You all just cannot rise up to the standard of the UWP, Hon Linton and his executive members.

    We the People of Dominica are in locked step with Lennox Linton and UWP to form the next Government of Dominica. I will be in Grand Fond and so will a lot of Dominicans.

    Lennox will be nominated as leader again in spite of his weakness. The lack of spine in that party will result in a landslide victory for the DLP . If everyone had spine like Issac the UWP would be more competitive. But again, how can one blame Lennox for not wanting to give up the position now that he has been exposed and cannot find employment anywhere. The man either got fired or his contract was never renewed with every single job that he held. That says a lot for someone who has no professional training and lack a high school diploma. It’s time that we look be beyond his fancy talk….

    • viewsexpressed
      April 24, 2018

      The real issue is the lack of and truth and decency in your weak spine will result in the continuous landslide of bobol and corruption within your obvious poor and corrupt operations of you failed corrupt UWP. Get the hell out of our house and go visit Dominica and see where we are in this mess and after Hurricane Maria, lead by Hurricane Scarit Skerrit and his blowing rough dirty political fake followers. Nothing has been done to raise Dominica of its poverty brought about by your corrupt friends Hurricane Skerrit.
      Hon Linton can take care of himself, you go look out for Skerrit because when he is kicked out of Office no prestigious institution will want to employ him. He has lost sense and reputation, he cannot be trusted and cant stand on his own. He will have his yard fowl Astaphan tailing him and cleaning his dirty political filth.

  14. April 24, 2018

    With Lennox UWP will never win election in Dominica ?? UWP is making the win so easy for the DLP. I want change but UWP not ready yet. DLP has long overdue but oh boy I don’t believe UWP can take Dominica to the next level.

      People like you will never distract us from our goals. This is the same thing you all said when we had another leader. We the concerned citizens know that it is not about The Man but it is about Dominica’s Development. So Lennox is just one Brick in building the Big House of Dominica. “We shall not be detoured.” Lennox will be the next P.M of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

      • April 25, 2018

        So are you in fact telling us the the concerned citizens movement is an arm of the UWP?

    April 24, 2018

    If Lennox were as weak a leader as you labourites want to make us think; would you want him to vacate the leadership post? Lennox Linton came in the ring one year before elections were called, and he brought us from 3 seats to 6 seats (that my friends is 100%). Don’t try to leer us into dismissing a strong courageous leader. We are not fools.

    Lennox Must Go. lennox is responsible of all the problem in Dominica. What he going to teach our children about excelling in school. Thompson and Joshua should make their own party and leave this big cheese Lennox . Skerrit always say as long as Lennox is leader of UWP he will keep winning. if things so bad in Dominica now, think of what a fool like lennox will do to Dominica. We under tarpoline under skerrit . under lennox we will sleep in the river. I cannot believe educated people that have there education asking for skerrit to go and put in a fool . Why all the educated people dont give lennox one of there degree. :lol:

      Is Lennox Linton responsible for three diplomats with Dominica’s passport being arrested. Is Lennox Linton responsible for ships flying Dominica’s flags loaded with sanction busting oil. Is Lennox Linton, responsible for Dominica’s Parrots leaving the island illegally. Is Lennox Linton responsible for violating the football laws of FIFA. Lennox Linton is responsible for exposing the Government’s involvement in the Bin and Fertilizer boeball. Lennox Linton is responsible for exposing the corruption that now exist in Government.

      • April 24, 2018

        Twised talking points. Perhaps you should give a detailed explanation of all these talking points. Then again if you do a thorough investigation of these talking points you might find that they all bogus.

        Plastic rice you mean lol too much plastic Chinese rice they eating why their brain not signaling to their eyes to stay open long enough to see that boasting about living under tarpaulin is nothing to be proud of. Poor thing you should be boasting that you have a fulfilling job and you’ve already saved or almost saved enough money to purchase the required supplies/materials to get your roof back on your house or that your roof is already back on your house; and life is getting back to at least a little normal. Never mind about Skerrit and Lennox think about the ability to be able to provide for yourself and be proud of that. Alas really hope you’re not still under that tarpaulin if another hurricane pass by.

      Stephen that is the worse reasoning I’ve ever read in my entire life . First of all it is not right and very disrespectful to call a leader of a political party whose party got over 17,000 votes in the last general election a fool . Some people have degrees and can’t use it to advance themselves or the country , i know of person’s without degree that have progressed in life and are good businessmen such as ” Sukie, Mc.Millan , Egbert Charles just to name a few and others with degree that couldn’t run a ” bakery ” By the way have you any proof that your Prime Minister has a degree as he claims ? My brother try to have a better sense of reasoning so people can respect your views .

        Mr Biggest Clown, “Man Bites Dogs” (Mash). Your famous name…..keep it going. You appear to possess the most political fleas in Dominica.
        If you do not want any clown as your leader why are still hanging on to your corrupt Bobolist Labour Party Leader Clown Scarit? You have a big leach unto him. The biggest political Clown in Dominica and the Caribbean is your Skerrit. He is a failed Leader, he must Go.
        Go clean your dirty political corrupt House first before you go pointing fingers at others.

        Why are you people so scared of Hon Linton? Because your failed Labour Leader cannot compare with Hon Linton.
