Hewitt formally nominated by St John Branch to contest DLP presidency

Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Presidential hopeful Guy Hewitt has been formally nominated by the party’s St John Branch to contest the top post.

Hewitt made the announcement in a statement issued late Sunday night.

He said: “I see this is a significant moment for the democratic tradition upon which our great party was founded and a step towards restoring the long and important tradition of a two-party political system that has been a guardian of Barbados’ democracy.

“I want to thank the New Dawn team who are working tirelessly to advance my candidature towards rebuilding the DLP as an effective political organisation. As I have stated, this journey is not about me or even the DLP but about ‘all ah we as Bajans. It is a struggle to regain the soul of our nation.”
