DLP hit by more resignations

Long standing Democratic Labour Party (DLP) member Irene Sandiford-Garner has parted way with the party.

So too has Stacia Browne, a member of the party’s media relations team.

Sandiford-Garner, a former Parliamentary Secretary and Senator condemned recent developments in the party.

Her letter of resignation said: “I have always joined organisations to serve. I derived great joy – and some moments of sorrow – during my more than two decades of membership. It has never been an easy road but it was travelled with commitment and determination in the secure knowledge that this party was the better one for our country.

“I serve organisations based on if their actions conform with my principles.  The behaviours of late should never rest easy within the bosom of any true Dem. The weekend of August 24 must be referenced. The persons mistreated were our brothers and sisters for decades.  All that was required was competent management. Those who instructed and enforced locking DLP members out of a property they had all rights to enter will be forever remembered in the annals of shame and reflected on with disgust,” she added.

For her part Browne also took issue with the recent internal wranglings in her letter of resignation submitted to acting general secretary Pedro Shepherd.

“This is not only a decision made from watching this party being destroyed over the last six months, but a personal decision after watching the indecent behaviour  meted out to members since April 2024.”

Earlier today , Senator Tricia Watson also severed ties with the DLP.
