BLP Motorcade makes its way through St. Michael

With days to go before the May 24 General Election, members of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) took to the streets on Whit Monday yesterday.

Moving off after 11 in the morning from the BLP’s Roebuck Street headquarters, the BLP Motorcade made its way through a number of St. Michael constituencies. The route travelled saw several vehicles travelling along areas including Bank Hall, Bush Hall, Eagle Hall, Richmonds Gap, Deacons Road, Grazettes Road, Pine East West Road and Factory Road before coming to an end at Bay Street.

Party leader and BLP’s St. Michael North East candidate, Mia Mottley and BLP’s St. Michael West candidate, Joseph Atherley, led the group in the vehicle to the front.

As the motorcade journeyed along, supporters, all of whom were dressed in their red T-shirts, waved at onlookers who stood at the side of the street. They additionally danced to the campaign songs being played by one of the three music trucks.

In communities where residents were gathered, some supporters exited their vehicle to greet persons and to present flyers to them, which outlined the BLP’s plans if elected. They also handed out posters, which identified the BLP candidates for each constituency. (MG)
