The United Workers Party has formally introduced their candidate for the Grand Bay Constituency; completing the 21 slate for the upcoming general elections.
Business Consultant, Nept Kannit Pacquette aged 35 was presented to the public at a press conference held at the Prevo Cinemall on Tuesday.
Pacquette replaces former UWP candidate Attorney Noreen John who passed away in May 2019.
The introduction of a special agro hybrid cannabis propagation plant and new innovative practices and technology in farming are some of his plans for the South City.
He also pledged to work for the people of that constituency with all his might and determination.
“I have a plan and I will work to restore agriculture, improve farm access and introduce new innovative practices and technologies in farming,” he said. “
He said his number one mission is to entice new and younger farmers to get involved in farming and with the UWP government Grandbay will be home to a special agro hybrid cannabis propagation plant.
Pacquette further stated that his vision for Grandbay is indeed radical and revolutionary with intentions to merge e-commerce and tourism in the growth of a new online market.
“I will be part of the new marketing initiative form and our people tourism and cultural products to provide new areas for cultural growth and to introduce Grandbay to the online community in a bigger and better way,” he explained.
Furthermore, Pacquette indicated that tourism will bloom in Grandbay. “The Geneva Estate will be utilized to its full potential with a shopping complex and a national heritage museum. And my party when in government will set up a youth entertainment empowerment and training enterprise,” he stated.
Admitting that he is both humbled and challenged, Pacquette said he is also confident that he has what it takes to lead Grandbay.
“I know that the road ahead is not going to be easy. I am however confident that I have what it takes to succeed as a candidate and by succeed, I mean win,” he added.

Kalinago Justice:: let’s bear in mind that it will be Edd’s first time in office as the parl rep. Good leaders don’t set out to be a leader..they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role-always about goal. We all know that the goal of the DLP is to better life for everyone. We see it everywhere we pass: homes, education, employment, health. Ed has leadership skills that allows him to work with anyone for the good of his constituency and Dominica in general…
This young man we develop into a dynamic politician, he is a vibrant speaker and is very witty. Grand bay has not moved anywhere since this labour party took over, its time for change.
Clean sweep for workers! We taking all 21 seats!
Why would the party launch the candidate in Roseau and not Grand Bay?
Stop asking STUPID questions. It was a press conference to introduce him. He can be launched anywhere its not up to you but up to him and his party.
Zondoli he was not launched, he was presented to the public, both at a press conference and on the night of the meeting.
He will be launched at a later date in Grand bay.
Oh my
apologies
But all of these guys have no experience
By the time they gain knowledge
It will be time for another election
We cannot gamble no way
Labour all the way
How much experience did Skerrit, Austrie and all the rest have when the Labour party won in 1999? How much experience does Melissa, Dr. Mac and Kent Edwards have? For that matter ALL of Dominica’s prime ministers had zero experience when they first became prime minister. That argument has no merit.
And lest you think its strictly Dominica, how much experience did Obama have when he became President?
EGG head from Eggleston stop talking rubbish. You looking at educated men working in their field for year and talking about experience? How much experience those dunce cat on DLP team have or had including MS PM with her nonexistent degree? Labourites not tired of embarrassing themselves on social media. Stupid food Skerrit feeding all you man. See how long he is a PM and he still cannot hold a proper conversation without somebody write him a script. The man has no idea of anything in the world except mepuis and nonsense. Its a total disgrace!
@Eggleston born and bread, Giraudel I born and bred, wee! Perhaps you know my family there.
Anyway, you spoke my thought, those guys will take five to 10 years to gain experience in the role of government. In times like this, why would we remove a well matured and qualified Prime Minister and his governing body to replace him with a nonqualified old man, who doesn’t have any “body” at all?
I always believed it’s smart people that live in Eggleston, obviously I was mistaken.
4 seats lol
Very impressive and humble line up of qualified, honest and progressive. I wish each candidate well, honor God, provide good and accountable representation and serve with pride and dignity.
I believe GOD has a plan for Dominica… let’s rally with the United Workers Party – Team Dominica for a brighter, prosperous and more independent minded Dominica
A bunch of (21) LOOSERS!
Good choice…The best that the party has had in the constituency for a long time..
Skerrit:
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
My brother true and honest passion for people and country’s development, is all the prerequisites you need for success. Be true and you’ll go through!!
When he talked about a cannabis industry I smiled.
Yes bro, you have my full support!
One wonders how must was the offer that made you agree to contest that seat.
Sorry for you sir. You are like a needle in a hay stack; but nothing beats a trial than a failure!
You are doomed to fail.
KID you should wonder for true. You know all skerrit offer is money and thats how you all get candidates. Imagine people accepting for nothing just to kick skerrit out. That is shameful and you should be concerned.
You had a better chance sending Jacka up again.
You definitely have some good plans but I know you will surely lost your deposit. I however admire your courage, determination and positive attitude. After the election you and Edd can work together to develop Your constituency. God bless you, Mr Pacquette..
@Bg; hasn’t e.d and his one-man rogue regime been in power for 20 years
What makes you think that he’ll do anything better with another term 
The one-man rogue regime has failed you all,yet still you’re following with your head and eyes closed 
From what I’ve seen, poverty is in the genes of black people, you all are the ones breeding poverty on yourselves and thinking handouts will make life better!!!
I happen to like Ed, no problem there but I would not exactly call him dynamic, would you.
