Source Real News: In an unprecedented move, the United Progressive Party (UPP) will be teaming up with the Free and Fair Elections League to ensure swift results and transparency in its voting at the 12 th Biennial Convention set for Sunday, April 21.
Damani Tabor, the Party’s public relations officer, describes the upcoming voting exercise as unique and more technologically advanced, based on this partnership with the League.
It will expedite the process, he explains, as some 63 persons will be vying to fill the 10 member-at-large positions, while a host of other nominees will be up for election to the Central Executive Committee.
The position of political leader – currently held by Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle – is also being contested, as Rural West MP Richard Lewis has again thrown his hat in the ring.
In 2019, Lewis contested against former Political Leader Harold Lovell, whose exit from active politics last January paved the way for Pringle, his deputy, to take the helm of the Party.
If technology is not deployed, Tabor says, it will take some time to tally the votes.
Accordingly, certain mechanisms have been put in place so that no one will be able to call into question the outcomes of the polls.
According to Tabor, at the end of the convention there will be a “very rapid pivot” to ensure that all the ideas and fresh strategies put forward by the candidates will be applied to take the Party to national victory at the polls.
The UPP will then rescue the country and place it back on a prosperous pathway with shared opportunity for all, he says.
