Dearest alli I do hope that you will be one of them to return to DA in particular RC that you so claim to love and help to develop the place like as if there was not developed. Its so amazing to hear all you say that RC is in the dark. But of course it was. You know why? That is because all of all you left for greener pastures and built you homes in other villages to give them all the light frrom your homes so no wonder RC was in thye dark. Congrats to Mr Stevenson but Browne is still the one. We love him not because of what he could get from Skerrit to help only people like you but we love Browne because of his love for us.

We should be happy for others when they achieve, so Congrats Ivor. However you should always be grateful to Mr. Solomon Pascal at all times, it’s because of his hard work that’s why you won. Solomon work hard and a few months before election he was kicked out, imagine how that feel? Mr. Ivor you should also give Mr. Solomon Pascal an award for delivering such a wonderful farewell speech and encouraging his supporter to vote for you. Mr. stephenson, hope that you will collaborate with Mr. Pascal. Congrats to Mr. Pascal as well.

Chill out James…..There will be an automatic recount with such close contest….That will not chage the results….Please stop the conspiracy theory….The people have cast their ballots.

Chavez is somewhere smiling.
THERE SHOULD BE A RECOUNT IN RIVIERE CYRIQUE, LABOUR IS STEALING THE ELECTION LIKE THEY PLANNED.
A GOVERNMENT HAS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR ITS PEOPLE, NOT GIVE THEM HANDOUT. SKERRITT IS PLAYING FROM THE CHAVEZ PLAY BOOK. KEEP YOU GUYS POOR, GIVE YOU’LL HAND OUT SO YOU’LL COULD KEEP COMING BACK TO HIM FOR MORE HAND OUT. THERE IS NO DIGNITY IN HAND OUT. YOU GUYS NEED TO OPEN YOUR EYES.
ALL YOU dOMINICANS TO STUPID, THATS WHY YOU GUYS THEY WAY YOU ARE, WHAT HELL LABOUR, HOW MUCH JOBS HAS THE DLP CREATED?
too close to call recount in the morning
When such close figures start coming in this early, it makes me very very nervous. Well last time , Castle Bruce Miracle ONE made the difference.

LABOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LABOUR ALL DA WAY!!!
something’s not right with these figures…
