The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission is saddened by the sudden passing of Mr. Dinson Parker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Over the years, Mr. Parker, as part of his civic duty,\u00a0 has facilitated the Commission by giving permission for the use of Temple Academy as\u00a0 Polling Stations in the Constituency of St. John’s Rural West. Only a nominal contribution is made for the use of private buildings used.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Commission is grateful to Mr. Parker and has\u00a0 informed him in a letter at the end of each electoral process.\u00a0 Deepest condolences are extended to\u00a0 Mr. Parker’s family,\u00a0 as well as to the staff and pupils of Temple Academy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
May God continue to strengthen you as you cope with this loss.\u00a0 May his soul rest in peace.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
