Do not waste votes

A vote for a third party is a vote for the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), advises Barbados Labour Party Candidate for Christ Church East Wilfred Abrahams.

Sharing this opinion on Friday night during a national meeting in Parish Land, he asserted that much was at stake during this election, and encouraged persons to not only get out and mark their ‘x’ on the ballot sheet, but not to waste this vote.

“I have heard people talking about a protest vote and voting for one of the third parties. Do not waste your vote. A vote for a third party is a vote for DEM. A vote for an Independent is a vote for DEM. Do not waste your vote on somebody who does not have a chance of getting into government. They cannot help you when things get tough. Use your vote wisely,” he said.

Insisting that he was not “crying down anybody”, Abrahams, who is contesting the seat for the second time against incumbent Dr. Denis Lowe of the DLP, issued an invitation to his third-party opponents.

“If the fella from UPP has your interest at heart, then he could come forward and work with me when I become the MP. If the woman from Solutions Barbados has your interest at heart then she can step forward and help me when I become the next MP. I am not going to spite anybody. I will take all the help from all the quarters when it comes,” he stressed. (JMB)
