OBSERVER: The United Progressive Party\u2019s candidate for St Mary\u2019s South has been axed from the party\u2019s slate of candidates for the next general election due to a medical condition.<\/p>

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

In a letter dated July 22 and leaked to Observer, the party\u2019s leader Harold Lovell told Marshall that branch and community members, as well as some of Marshall\u2019s own family, were concerned about \u201cthe effects of a rigorous political campaign on your physical health\u201d.<\/p>\n

And noting \u201cthe time and physical efforts that will be called for, as the party tries to cover the most ground in the shortest time,\u201d the leadership of the party had concluded that \u201cit simply cannot subject you to the physical hardship ahead, nor those who love and care for you to any further anxiety\u201d.<\/p>

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

This is despite Marshall apparently insisting he was strong enough to run.<\/p>

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

The party will therefore be putting forward another candidate to go up against the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party\u2019s candidate for that area, Samantha Marshall, and the Democratic National Alliance\u2019s Andrew Antonio, in what many believe will be an early election. Elections are constitutionally due by mid-March next year.<\/p>\n

Lovell, however, assured Marshall that he \u201cwill always have a prominent place in the United Progressive Party and any administration\u201d that he may lead.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe look forward to you being able to continue using your many gifts and abilities for the benefit of the party, your community and, indeed, our beloved country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The missive did not disclose the specific condition afflicting Marshall, but it alluded to the fact he had been hospitalised at least three times and may be seeking treatment in New York or Barbados.<\/p>

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

Lovell confirmed the authenticity of the letter with Observer and indicated that the party\u2019s central executive was set to meet and would release a statement in the next day or two.<\/p>

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

Marshall unsuccessfully contested the St Mary\u2019s South seat for the UPP when he ran against Samantha Marshall in the 2018 general election.<\/p>\n

When contacted by Observer, Marshall said the matter was private and one he would not be making a public statement on.<\/p>\n
