On November 6, 2022, most of us were shocked by the news that general elections were announced for December 6, 2022. Yet again, another election without the promised electoral reform.
Many are enraged because in most recent times, we have experienced and witnessed a corrosion and perversion of our political behavior to the point of compromising electoral integrity. I join my voice in calling for all to stand for our democracy. But this is not a call just for me or a select group of Dominicans, this is a call for all of us to rise and stand with bravery to restore and protect the honor of our democracy. Our nation belongs to all of us, and each of us has an equal duty to support and make it work to its best. Dominica needs you; Dominica needs me.
Dominica will regain its soul from any evil loop because we Dominicans will stand against the forces of darkness. We will not surrender nor will we cower because we are right-thinking Christians, who are dependent on the spirit of Jesus Christ, but also on that of our Kalinago and African ancestors. We are resilient and wise enough to know that we are at a crossroads, and our future lies in our hearts and minds.
WE WILL NOT LOSE THE FIGHT!
We will not relent until we are assured of an uncontaminated electoral process.
As one of your loyal servants, I take a stand with you for a better Dominica, I firmly urge you to make your request heard by peaceful and orderly protest. May our voices be unified in peace, love, and harmony, yet echoing decisively to let the world know that we stand for what is just and right. But remember, that we are to always act with respect for the rule of law.
I also call on law enforcement officers to exercise their duty without fear or favor, but with discretion and balance in duty between “us and them”.
We stand against and divorce ourselves from injustice, and abuse of power. Dominica shall prevail!
O Dominica, today I do not weep, but I reaffirm my love for your truth and zeal, I stand with you and will fight for your honor and glory; I will not abandon you.
DOMINICA WE WILL RISE AGAIN!
Sorry my brother too little too late, you promised much but delivered very little; i was disappointed in your inactions when the UWP and other opposing forces needed you most of all.
Yes Hmmmmmm only a JACKA.. keep losing election over and over again.I hope I can spell JACKA…Every phone has a dictionary attached for your information.
Yes Dominica will rise again when we stop abusing our wives and children.When we stop being arrested and charged for sexually harrissing girls under the age of 16.And yes Dominica will rise again when people stop supporting the destruction of private and public property.It will rise again when all you stop stoning the police,burning government property and shooting at the police.Dominica will rise again when we stop being caught on audio backstabbing our leader.And for sure it will rise again when we stop supporting money laundering disguised as Humanitarian aid.It is a fact it will rise again when habitual criminals rogues,vagabonds ,arsonists and extortionists stop assaulting our Archbishop and Bishop.Really it will stop again when your party of corruption,victimization and greed can account for the hundreds of millions of dollars collected under the Reengineered Citizenship Programme and the $6 million …………………
@Lin clown You seem to have left school in a very low grade…You can’t write, doubt you can even read properly and your spelling stinks!
You are really a clown!
Francis, you have a lot of dirty laundry to take to the Laundromat. Do that first before you participate in any election.
@ds
What about your political master Skerrit, who looks at you dressed in red, and laughs at your buffoonery? You sound empty, devoid of morals, principles, integrity, and quite frankly a bad example!!!Your shameless, headless bad example… Or maybe you learnt zilch at school..You are empty!!!
Francis has taken a principled position, and for this i APPLAUD him!!!
Not a tenth of the dirty laundry you CM has. Trust!
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Joshua, you are no fool.
To give credibility to this snatch election, the powers that be will even recruit vagrants to compete in this scandal plagued contest.
Dominicans should not allowed this planet’s most notorious LIAR to detract them by falsely accusing the opposition of being fearful to contest. That’s a big RED HERRING. The scandal scarred man is mortally afraid to contest an election on a level playing field. He fully well knows that would cause his political demise.
Instead of levelling with Dominicans by given reason(s) he has stubbornly refused to wait for the imminent electoral reforms report from Dennis Byron before this clandestine election. That’s the crucial question.
People, news media, let’s demand answers from this insensitive, dispassionate, demonic narcissist.Stay away from the polls.
Francis there are many of your 2019 supporters, who are coming to you for advice on whether to vote or not…
The onus is also upon you to tell them this 2022 election is already a farce even before polling day. It’s tainted, corrupt and serves the purpose of of one corrupt man!!!
Tell them to stay away completely from the polls!! I need to publibly hear that from you if needs be, because many of your supporters are not internet savvy! They will never see this message!
GOOD MOVE THOUGH!
Thank you, thank you sir!
Your closing statement brought tears to my eyes. It made me realize that after all, there are some of us that still care and place Dca first always. Thanks again Josh and God’s blessings on you and family always my friend and fellow patriot. NO REFORM, NO ELECTION!
Yes in deed Dominica will raise again and itself from this evil. In the meantime, no election without reforms.
