UPP Final Hurrah Today

10 March 2009

Today marks the climax of the United Progressive Party’s (UPP) campaign, prior to Thursday’s General Election. Justice Square will come alive with the final public rally dubbed ‘Oceans 16’. The 16 constituency candidates will be on hand to give a final hurrah before facing judgment day.

Chairman of the UPP, Leon Chaku Symister, promises the event will be the biggest, most colourful event since the beginning of their blue wave events.

UPP candidates will take the platform and outline the administration’s report card.

“The UPP offers a positive and achievable vision for this country and the party’s cornerstone is commitment to the people,” said Symister.

The party will also reiterate its commitment to educating the youths by offering more scholarships for studies abroad and founding the University of Antigua & Barbuda.

The people will also hear about plans such as a new airport terminal, a comprehensive crime fighting strategy and unemployment relief during these uncertain economic times, all components of the UPP’s visionary manifesto.
“Defending the Nation makes realistic promises to the people. We have delivered on our 2004 manifesto and we will deliver on our 2009 manifesto,” the UPP Chairman confirmed.
