UPP Members’ Plot to Remove Pringle Fails as Watts Backs Out

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has revealed a failed plot by members of the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) to unseat their leader, Jamale Pringle.

According to Browne, Richard Lewis, Kelvin ‘Shugy’ Simon, and Algernon “Serpent” Watts had orchestrated a plan to approach the Governor-General to remove Pringle from his position as opposition leader.

However, the plot collapsed when Watts unexpectedly backed out at the last minute.

Browne recounted that Lewis had prepared a letter, which Simon was willing to sign, but Watts, who had previously agreed to the plan, ultimately withdrew his support, leading Browne to label him “spineless.”

The Prime Minister’s remarks further suggest ongoing efforts within the UPP to oust Pringle, but for now, the plan remains stalled due to Watts’ hesitation.

If true, the revelation highlights ongoing tensions within the UPP, with various members vying for leadership amid internal disagreements.
