UWP presents 21 candidates for general election

The candidates for the UWP
The candidates for the UWP

The United Workers Party (UWP) presented its 21 candidates who will contest the December 8 general electon to party supporters at a ceremony held at the Goodwill Parish Hall on Friday night.

Leader of the UWP, Lennox Linton, who was addressing the presentation ceremony, said the time has come to relieve prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit of his “burden.”

“It is time to relieve him of what obviously has become a burden for him…,” Linton said.

According to him, Skerrit can no longer manage the job as prime minister of Dominica.

“It is our responsibility as Dominicans to pay attention to this because we are the ones who asked him to be prime minister and right now it appears to us that he can no longer manage the job,” he stated. “We have changed governments before and the changing of government is nothing new in Dominica. Governments have come and gone and governments will continue to come and go because the power of the people is greater than the people in power.”

In fact, he said the UWP will enjoy the electoral challenge as much as, “you will enjoy the results of our work together for God and for country in the Commonwealth of Dominica.”

Linton said his candidates have presented themselves at the ceremony to claim what he described as, “victory for change.”

“We have come to claim a victory for change because of the flower of hope that have been awaken by our vision to make Dominica the best place to live, the best place to work and the best place to enjoy life in the entire global community,” he stated. “We claim this victory for change because we have carefully analyzed the development challenges facing Dominica and we have identified and articulated the appropriate solutions in every respect and in every aspect. We claim this Victory for Change because of our burning desire, because of our competences, our skills to develop and grow.”

Linton also called for respect for public officers in Dominica.

“Teachers, our nurses, our police officers and fire officers, our public officers who go to work in the various ministries every day require and deserve much more than zero, zero, zero as salary increases over three years,” he remarked. “They deserve to have the injustice of the 5 percent taken off their salaries returned and they also deserve to have the benefit of the job evaluation exercise that was completed in the public sector sometime last year…”

Linton revealed further that the UWP will deliver social protection and poverty elevation that is comprehensive and is free of petty “partisan politics.”

“We stand not for a red, not for a blue, not for a green Dominica but for the commonwealth, complete care and elderly care, housing support, and social protection for those in need…,” he revealed.

Former Magistrate, Ossie Lewis was the moderator of the event.

The candidates are:

1.Hector John – Salisbury
2.Claudius Sanford – Salybia
3.Lennox Linton – Marigot
4.Monell Willams – St. Joseph
5.Danny Lugay – Roseau North

7.Jefferson James – Portsmouth
8.Eunica Anthony-Victor – Paix Bouche
9.Joseph Isaac – Roseau Central
10.Nicholas George – Colihaut
11.Thomson Fontaine – Grand Fond
12.Joshua Francis – Roseau South
13.Ronald Charles – Roseau Valley
14.Felix Thomas – Mahaut
15.Isaac Baptiste – Castle Bruce
16.Urban Baron – Petite Savanne
17.Higgs Adam – Scotts Head
18.James Alexander – Grand Bay
18.Alex Birminghan – Vieille Case
20.Steward Burton – Cottage

    Zor.!!!!! Dominicans tor sot. Allu actually think governments care about Allu? Blast the government blast the opposition. Allu just some tebeh with lassie in Allu eyes. All governments are corrupt. And that is a fact. And many on either side of the political parties are a set of ignorant people. How can you get angry because someone does not support who you support??? Really?

    But then again, people have their choice to vote for who they want.

    November 17, 2014

    The only reason labour has a shot is because most Dominicans are uneducated and are easily fooled and entertained by hand-outs and maypwi giving and foreign artists. They really don’t know better, and most of those who do know better are either benefiting from hand-outs and favours, so they support DLP or they’re with UWP :mrgreen: .
    Team Dominica has been trying to eradicate this unprofessional style of politics in Dca but obviously the labourites don’t care.
    The reason the PM decided to not have any political debates is because they did so poorly at the last one and they’ve realized that the youth who have been and are being educated at the DSC are questioning their administration. They can’t stand up to UWP and they know it.
    The DLP party really has done nothing substantial to improve the lives of Dcans and everything they’ve done is on the surface but those who are educated and can dig deeper than the surface will not be fooled.

    All these disaporans chanting labor ka twavay my question to you is what twavay?

    1. When you travel to Dominica you complain of how difficult air access is but labor ka twavay

    2. If Roosevelt Skerrit was honestly going to build a state of the art international airport don’t you think it would be fitting to rename this airport after the late great Rosie and Pierro?

    3. If things are so sweet in Dominica. We’re doing better than our sister islands why do you have to send monies via western union and money gram home constantly? Why do you have to send home barrels?

    Lastly the country is moving so well denounce your green cards, citizenship and move back to the land you claim to love so much

      It’s really embarrassing to hear you’ll Duminicans talk eh. All what you describe is this something new or just in Sherrit times? NO. Get with the program dumbie. D/ca is a 3rd world country and like all 3rd world countries people will go overseas in search of a better life, education etc and send home stuff. That was happening wayyyyy back before Sherrit where we saw soooo many hoop on board the Geest boat before and will happen wayyyyyyy after him. And as far as all this green card and citizenship shit u speak off, majority of us here leaving better than alot of D/cans overseas. Stupid pride that have lots of D/cans not coming home. Along with stupid idiots like u that scaring them from coming home because of all the shit you’ll talk. Plus Tourist that scare because of that too

      laborinvain when people like you stay in Dominica and beg those of us in the diaspora for every penny we earn while you all are living like queens and kings when we visit we are shocked to see your standard of living. Wicked set of Dominicans you all are very ungrateful. You have no idea how much pain we go through to send something home instead of saying thank you criticizing that’s why I think twice these days before sending anything home. I do hope some of us in the diaspora will read this.

    • November 18, 2014

      @laborinvain…I agree with number 2 statement i thought of that if he honestly to build an international airport rename this airport would be suitable to named after late Charles and Douglas , you really hit the nail right on this.

      • laborinvain
        November 18, 2014

        Wait a while. Maybe i’m daft I’m a konomono but we want change. We must demand accountable governance. Time and time again Roosevelt Skerrit has fooled us with his lies. He promised last elction an international airport would be built where is it? And know your place we Dominicans at least those who are hardworking like myself who do not depend on Jack squat for shit like to work. It is your government who has turned some of us into beggars because he has made some of us dependent on him. Don’t worry God don’t sleep. The God of Abraham and Jacob is still the same God today and I will bruise my knees for God’s intervention and he will intervene like it or not. You people are really malicious but Time Will tell. In the meantime I am keeping calm and changing as many persons minds as I can to vote against this wicked regime.

    My fellow Dominicans who stand for justice, truth, integrity and honesty. Do not be ashamed of what you stand for. Skerrit told us to go to hell but on December 8 we’re sending him to hell because we are a God fearing people. We have no other Gods except the Lord Jesus Christ who died and rose for us all. Don’t let the crowds , the fete , the lpo’s intimidate you. Vote your conscience. Eat them, drink them and vote them out. CHANGE IS A MUST. GOD has heard our cries. It is time for us to rise up as a nation, to rise up as David rose up against Goliath. GOD will see us through come December 8. Keep calm. They will insult you and belittle you but pay them no mind pray for them because they know not what they do. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! CHANGE IS COMING!

    When I look at this Team , I see a group of people who will put country before self, who will respect the constituion, who will not put personal gain before Dominca’s interests, who will look out for Dominicans and make sure that they have jobs in Da beofre anyone else, I see a Team who will develop Dominica to the level that we have been wanting for too many years now.

However we can’t use the DavidVs Goliath techinque.. It is not am battle of the physically fit but the mentality fit….

      Ephesians 6:12 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Dominica on December 8th will be delivered from Roosevelt Skerrit and his wicked cabal. We have suffered too long under the hand of one man who thinks that he is the “Messiah”. Those of you who are “so- called christians” who know better but will not denounce Skerrit because you are getting a mere handout woe beyond to you. The bible says many are called but few are choosen and clearly you have choosen your “Red Army” over what is right and just. I do not support any one given party. My allegiance lies to Dominica and presently I cannot support the now Dominica Labor Party led by Roosevelt Skerrit. I hope that you listened to Mrs. Annette St. Hilaire last night. Kuddos to you for coming out and standing up for what is right. To Team Dominica UWP we are praying and I also have a stern warning to you as while then when elected in to office come December 8, 2014 that you will stand by all what was spoken of during the campaign because we will hold you to it. Our allegiance lies to Dominica not Roosevelt Skerrit or any another politician for that matter. Change is definately a must and I will keep pushing and gathering votes for the UWP till December 8. Prayer warriors keep praying. God does Not like blasphemy and like the walls of JERICHO Skerrit will fall. God is good all the time.

        Man go and take care of your senior citizens in Atlanta boy. You left Dominica many years ago and buy all your land in Antigua to build. You claim you can never leave in the Caribbean islands upon retirement. The man up in Atlanta enriching american coffers and want to take cheap shot at Skerrit. Come back home my boy, come back and get the rest of your licks. We waiting on you.

      You are an angry person my friend. It is clod in DC now , you should go outside and chill out for a bit.
      We in Dominica will not use violence to crush anybody as you mentioned, if this is you and the party you support intentions? I want to tell you that Dominicans are one of the most educated people in the world and will not lift a stone to hurt each other. So peace be unto you.
      That is why we will change things around.

      WE shall crush all our enemies. Our enemies are already under our feet. When I take a good look at these fellas and women, respectable people like me are just not impressed. These are gang of losers. Team foo. . Any leader who does not honour men and women of God , self destruct already. LONG LIVE PM SKERRIT AND LONG LIVE DOMINICA. SKERRIT’s ministry is already laid out before him. Given and handed over to him by Our Lord Jesus Christ for such a time like this. Take that and smoke it. Par La.

    Manifesto guys! That is very important to get your idea and plans around the country. We can’t keep bashing the PM at every function and expects to win a general election based on that premise. DFP has already disappointed us by falling out and so far, no Independent candidates has come forward, so it would appear that it maybe just two parties contesting the general election. Therefore, guys you all have to come stronger than just bashing the “incumbents” – listen to folks on the outside looking in. Pay attention to the “Independents” now that there is no DFP because we have a role to play in this process and the country’s future as well.

    Do not continue to ignore us because we do not identified ourselves as “red” or “blue” but we are “Dominicans” and don’t lose focus of that fact. This election may very well depend on the “Independents” based on which way they may swing at the final hour. Give us a place or make us feel welcome as part of your plans and your parties.

      where have you been, the same dreams that they have been speaking about all along, that’s what will be in the manifesto, so what is your point. Are you going to read the manifesto? stupes.

      Have you ever seen a manifesto standing in line to vote on polling day?

      Even if UWP gave you 1 billion manifestos you will still foolheartedly vote the labour party. So cease this disingenuous ploy. You are basically acting as an party operative on a fishing mission.

      The labour party will not set the agenda of the UWP – Team Dominica. Team Dominica alone will decide when, where and when they will produce a manifesto. And they still reserve the prerogative not to print if the desire.

      We all know that labour need the UWP manifesto as a guide for post elections, since they can’t come up with clever ideas of their own. However in this instance, this will not be necessary since UWP will form the incoming team whilst labour will beshamefully rushing out in the other direction

    These men and women looks willing and ready to take Dominica out of its miseries!!! I will be voting UWP this election. I wish I could vote for every candidate in all constituencies. Comparing the DLP and the UWP candidates this election should be a no-brainer!!!! For example, compare Monell Williams for St. Joe to Athenia Benjamin for Wesley and tell me who has the better candidates! The 8th of December, 2014 is going to be a very, VERY interesting and exciting day!!!! Dominicans are you ready????

    Dominica leaders their first step when ever they elected to office is to pocketed money all are the same, so you have soon some good things happening in Dominca so let’s stick with the dlp.

      @DAHMAN – An absolutely ridiculous and contradictory comment from you. What do you mean all politicians are the same? Have you seen this current batch of UWP people in office as yet?

      Your comment is silly. It is akin to saying that all men are bad and the same because of the indiscretions of some men or saying that all women are loose and lewd because of the decadent behaviour of some women.

      So have admitted that there is corruption but its ok. Hmmm Interesting. Its time we as an electorate demand higher standards from our leaders. Leadership is not about personal friends with the outside as we are made to believe. Its about bilateral agreements with countries not with individuals. We have received millions in assistance from other countries what do we have to show for it?. We have to hold our leaders accountable, Morally, Spiritually and other aspects.
