During his broadcast on Pointe FM yesterday, Prime Minister Gaston Browne made it clear that while he is open to supporting Lewis in other ambitions, running for the Labour Party in All Saints West is not an option.

“Discussions have been held with Richard,” Browne stated. “If Richard wants to pursue certain ambitions, I would have sent him a message to confirm that we will accommodate him. But those ambitions do not include running for the Labour Party in All Saints West. Let me make that abundantly clear.”

The Prime Minister emphasized his confidence in the current candidate for the constituency, asserting that the decision is final. “We have a young, viable candidate in Michael Joseph,” Browne said. “I have no doubt that he will win that seat. From that standpoint, the candidature for that constituency is a settled matter.”

Browne’s comments highlight a strategic move to solidify support behind Joseph while acknowledging Lewis’s potential contributions in other capacities.
