UPP Unveils Caretaker Slate Ahead of 2026 Political Push

The United Progressive Party has unveiled its slate of constituency caretakers as it moves to strengthen its organisation ahead of the 2026 political cycle.

Opposition Leader and UPP Political Leader Jamale Pringle confirmed the lineup in his New Year’s message, describing the team as central to rebuilding and restructuring the party and preparing for a national campaign focused on what he called “People First” governance.

The announced caretakers are:

  • St. Philip South – Sherfield Bowen
  • St. Philip North – Senator Alex Browne
  • St. Paul – Wayne Benjamin Marsh
  • St. Peter – Captain George Wehner
  • St. Mary’s North – Senator Johnathon Joseph
  • St. Mary’s South – Kelvin Simon
  • St. John’s City East – Senator Pearl Quinn-Williams
  • St. John’s City West – Alister Thomas
  • St. John’s City South – Franz deFreitas
  • St. John’s Rural East – Ashworth Azille
  • St. John’s Rural West – Richard Lewis
  • St. John’s Rural North – Malaka Parker
  • St. John’s Rural South – Emanuel Peters
  • All Saints West – Harold Lovell
  • All Saints East & St. Luke – Jamale Pringle

Pringle said a caretaker for St. George will be named in the coming weeks after the party’s branch in that constituency completes its internal process.

He noted that the caretaker team will be responsible for strengthening constituency structures, engaging supporters, and laying the groundwork for the party’s broader political agenda heading into 2026 and beyond.
