UPP Prepares for St Peter By-Election Following Asot Michael’s Tragic Death

The opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) held a meeting on Friday to plan for the upcoming St Peter by-election, scheduled for January 14, 2025, following the death of Independent MP Asot Michael.

Michael, who represented the constituency for decades, was tragically found stabbed to death on November 5.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne informed Governor General Sir Rodney Williams of the by-election, as mandated by the Constitution, with Nomination Day set for December 31, 2024.

Michael, who won the St Peter seat five consecutive times, ran as an Independent in the 2023 election, securing 2,137 votes against UPP, ABLP, and DNA candidates. His alleged killer, Alexta Francis, is in custody awaiting trial.

UPP leader Jamale Pringle stated the party’s plans would be revealed after internal discussions, expected next week.
