United Progressive Party candidate for the St. Philips North Constituency Shawn Nicholas has made a firm appeal to undecided voters.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

With three days to go before the 2018 general election, Nicholas told the electors who have not decided where they will vote to put the UPP back in power.<\/p>\n

“I want to give you a message tonight we are at a crossroad. we are at that point of delivering Antigua and Barbuda and we have no space for undecideds,” she told the party’s last major campaign event before the poll.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In a CADRES poll conducted in February, 36 percent said they would vote for the ABLP; 24 percent said they would vote for the UPP while 5 percent said they would vote for the\u00a0 Democratic National Alliance (DNA).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A combined 34 percent were either unwilling to say or undecided on the question of which party they would support.<\/p>\n

In appealing to the undecided voters Nicholas said: “at this critical juncture in Antigua and Barbuda’s history, we cannot have people say that I am still undecided.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“Antigua and Barbuda needs every single\u00a0one of us to take us over the precipice\u00a0and to save us from this wicked one term Antigua Barbuda Labour Party government,” she told a rally on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

“If you want to be remain being governed by a despot you remain undecided. If you want to remain in a police state, you remain undecided. If you want to remain in a country where only a few can get rich you remain undecided.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“If you want a leader who has no respect for neither God nor man you can remain undecided,” she said.<\/p>
