The opposition United Workers Party (UWP) is prepared to regain the Micoud North constituency and the government and has indicated that the intervention of dark forces will not matter.
In this regard, 1st Deputy Leader Guy Joseph, during a town hall meeting over the weekend, declared that supernatural elements will not sway the results of the next election.
Joseph claims that members of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) sought assistance from supernatural elements to win the last election.
However, he contends that the United Workers Party serves a higher power.
“Tell the Labours I know where they went in Monchy and which gardeh they went to see in Monchy. And we know how many dolls are on the wall and our names are on it. But I want them to know there is power that is greater than the power of voodoo and that is the power of Almighty God. No devil in hell will save the Labour party in this election,” he said.
The UWP Deputy Leader says the SLP’s occupancy of Micoud North is coming to an end.
As far as Joseph is concerned, the Labour Party will not hold on to Micoud North with incumbent Jeremiah Norbert.
“You have leveled the playing field in Micoud North and South. One term for Labour in Micoud South, now one term for Labour in Micoud North. But that is the only term that Labour will have in Micoud North,” said Joseph to applause from the audience.
Jeremiah Norbert created history during the Labour Party’s landslide election win on July 26, 2021, by winning the Micoud North.
It was the first time a Labour candidate had tasted victory in the United Workers Party stronghold.
Reflecting on his victory as the SLP marked its third year in office, Norbert said regarding Micoud North residents: “We told them that for too long their loyalty was taken for granted, and that they were viewed as essential to the UWP legacy, and the record book, but that the UWP were not delivering in their best interests. I told them over and over, that they had to believe that the power of the people is greater than the people in power.”
