In what can only be described as an act of desperation, the party has opted for loyalty over competence, prioritizing internal politics instead of addressing the real needs of the people of St. Peter.

This reckless decision is a slap in the face to a constituency that has already endured neglect and mismanagement. Rather than seizing the opportunity to present a credible alternative, the UPP has fielded what can only be described as a “pappyshow” candidate—an embarrassing display of political theater that risks frustrating the community even further.

The courageous and responsible thing to do would have been to admit their lack of preparedness and refrain from fielding any candidate at all. Instead, the UPP has exposed the depth of its internal chaos and disorganization, leaving the residents of St. Peter wondering whether the party truly values their concerns.

The people of St. Peter deserve serious leadership and thoughtful representation—not political gimmickry. It is now clear that the UPP has abandoned its duty to the constituency, treating it as a comical Santa sideshow rather than a cornerstone of democratic governance.
