Chairman of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) Marigot Constituency Association Harold Tyson says plans are afoot to select a new candidate to contest the proposed by–elections in Marigot.
Government Senator Dayton Baptiste, who contested that seat in the December 18, 2009 general elections for the DLP lost to United Workers Party’s Edison James. Baptiste is reportedly having some trouble with his Association.
Tyson said Baptiste has not represented the people of Marigot and now that there could be by-elections, “it makes the matter even more serious”.
He said the Association is currently on the ground screening candidates to ensure a better replacement.
“We have had about five meetings and Baptiste never attended. At this time he can’t come to us and ask us to vote for him. As far as some people think, it is too late. We are looking for candidates and we have been talking to several persons and we are hoping that good sense will prevail and the DLP hierarchy will decide that they will not just put something on us,” Tyson stated.
“It’s time that we in Marigot decide what we want for ourselves. The past few years people have decided what they wanted for us and now we need to stand up and decide for ourselves once and for all,” he added.
Tyson said a number of top Labourites are supporting him in that regard.

DISPITE WHAT ALL MARIGOT PEOPLE ARE THE SAME EVEN THOUGH THEY BRING GOD TO RUN FOR LBOUR IS STILL LONG MOUTH THEY WILL GIVE THE MANDATE SO WHAT ALL YOU TRYING TO PROMOTE ALL YOU WILL STIILL NOT VOTE OUT EDDISON
The PM should know what he was doing before taking someone who knows nothing about the people of Marigot to represent them, it will always have trouble cause Marigot people are not fools… Please Mr.PM go to Marigot and put this situation to rest and let the people decide for themselves who they want to represent them it’s as simple as that.. God bless DOMINICA and the people of MARIGOT FOR STANDING UP FOR THERE RIGHTS.
You put it the best. PM need to care about the people’s need.
Sorry Mr. Tyson!!!!!—–but I think that you sound so self-promoting and the more I listen to you is the more I think you are a CROOK. If you are a real Labourite you need to understand that family fights should NEVER take place on radio, TV etc. Keep the fighgt in the “home” and when all is said and done the world will see a united Marigot Labour Party Branch. What you are doing will only help the opposition. You have already done enough damage. STOP IT NOW!! If you are the candidate as it stands now I could even come to marigot and campaign against you “SELF-PROMPTING CROOK”.
Dominicans fall in love with miss hand out they turn the country upside down.Dominica need leader -s who have the country at heart and have a vision for the country,moveing forward.The present leaders do not know right now what dominina need to move forward and be successful.It is a shame that the leaders of dominica travel all over so often and learn nothing.
TYSON FOR MARIGOT
TYSON WE WANT FOR MARIGOT!!! He need a chance to prove himself. NOT DAYTON.
Ma D. Leave Dayton alone – you are not good just like him. Marigot people do not play PM to push Dayton on them. PM you are doing just too d*m* much in Dominica.
If Dayton know what is good for him he better go back to Antigua … Tyson is a true labourit and has alway been – where Dayton come out.
Tyson would do a better job than Dayton. I know that. Dayton is not truthful and have never been. Can’t PM see that. And de vovo he have behind him …
Tyson, we love you!! God be with you for standing up for Marigot.
Enough is enough, we do not want Baptist, Dayton do not respect the people of Marigot. I will never as long as I live vote for hime again – Tell PM to come and vote for him in Marigot.
Tyson, I am so glad that you are standing up for Marigot – God bless you!
I am glad that the people of Marigot can think and do not let Baptist think he can come out from knowwhere and be so damn rude not to attend meetings with the people and talking about we must vot for him. Tell him to come again.
We need a bi-election in The Old House constituency. We are not trusting no French man here.
Mr. Tyson you are doing a good job for your party!. A house divided cann’t stand.
For De madame speaker’s rudeness, Marigotians will teach her and her Labour party a solid lesson
that they will never forget! They already not us, blast it.
Anonymous, you should not resort to this kind of behaviour, just say that you’re voting for the representative of your choice, I don’t see why all the graphics have to come in that.
Mr Tyson you and you Labour party will conduct that by-election on tho outside of Marigot or maybe u traitors of Marigot will mail your ballots in because we will see to it that there is no bi-election in Marigot. Didn’t you guys receive the memo?
Khastro, please give the people of Marigot a chance to express their rights, you alone is not marigot.
When and how did Harold become a supporter of the UWP Fair play. Stupse
BOY HAROLD IF YOU KNOW WHAT GOOD FOR YOU GO HIDE UR SELF LEAVE OUR SENATOR ALONE …
the next level for domimican everybody will pay
When Skerrit ready, he just coming Marigot and straightening all of them out…hahaha
how he goin n start??
Don’t put skerritt in that please, straighten up your business in Marigot first, South city people love him……PEACE
BAD MOVE!!! The fact that Mr.Tyson can publicly redicule his previously chosen candidate for the Marigot constituency does speak volumes about the lack of leadership and organization of the Labour Party Marigot Constituency Association. Mr. Tyson could have simply chosen another candidate without having to “publicly” reveal the shortcomings of Mr. Baptiste. BAD LEADERS COME FROM BAD LEADERSHIP!!!
After all, we are talking about Marigot. The man spent all his years in Antigua …. How can he, at this point decide that he wants to represent Marigot. I am not sure what PM SKerrit was thinking, but that will never work. Marigotians prides themselves on being intelligent, don’t insult the people like that. The Marigot branch of the DLP recognizes this fact and is actively doing their homework to be prepared for the upcoming supposed bi-election.
Lol, Tyson you making my belly hurt . hahahaha.DNO we need the laughting icon.
Harold Tyson is a UWP crook bent on fragmenting the DLP.
This statrement is so true. Mr Tyson seems to have a UWP agenda. Does he really believe that the Labor party members and supports both nationally and in the local Marigot communities are that naive?
Mr Tyson is no Laborite.
thats right….
Greetings Tyson , from Roseau central DLP, i welcome that move in Marigot.
I want add that the Dominica Labour Party( DLP) is a serious organization and only want serious persons to leader in our party
Nuf Respect
