Lowe ready to continue job

Dr. Denis Lowe could have called it quits, however the Christ Church East candidate said that his work in that constituency is still ongoing.

Recalling the slew of rumours that he was dying, had gone to Canada, had Cancer as well as AIDS and even lost a leg, he therefore explained that his recent absence from public life was a result of a terrible fall.

Dr. Lowe said that he shattered his knee which resulted in two surgeries.

“I could have called it quits; people suggested that I hang it up, but I said ‘No! There are still many more people to help,’” he insisted.

The incumbent was at the time reassuring his constituents while addressing the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) political meeting in Parish Land on Friday night that he is staying the course.

“I want to give you the assurance that my knee is on the mend and I am on my way back to 100 per cent,” he indicated.

“In fact, my opponent thought he saw a glimmer of hope and was walking around telling people that Derek Alleyne was running for me up here. He said that I was on my last leg and I wouldn’t survive. I am standing here tonight because of the Grace of the Almighty and I am in this fight tonight because of my love for you. Have no fear, I will be here for a long, long time. The best is yet to come.”

Dr. Lowe took the opportunity to defend his political record, highlighting that in the last ten years, the DLP administration has been able to find close to 500 jobs for his constituents. Moreover, he described the work carried out as “historic”, stating that representation is about getting on the ground and “making sure that things happen for your people”.

“I have not only done jobs and supported schools, and build parks all over, but I sought to assist the shop keepers in the constituency. When I hold up my record, I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am the highest performing MP this constituency has ever seen.”

“So, you have a choice to make and your choice is not just about a Party choice, it is not just about an MP choice – it is about a choice that will move your opportunity and state of life further along. All want to do is to
help you to realise your dreams; all I want to do is to ensure that through my work you can look back and say ‘Thank God Denis Lowe passed through,’” he told supporters. (TL)
