its new candidate for the St. Mary\u2019s South Constituency.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On Sunday night, August 21, the Council ratified decisions taken by the Party\u2019s Executive Committee earlier this month, retiring previous candidate Corthwright Marshall out of concern for his health and recommending Simon, who emerged the front-runner in its constituency polls.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Simon, in a brief acceptance speech, indicated that his interest in politics was sparked since 2004.\u00a0 He said he is humbled by his selection as a Candidate for the UPP, the Party he has long admired, and, accordingly, is inspired and motivated to get his campaign going.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A professional guidance counselor, Simon is a former national athlete and an entrepreneur whose roots are firmly established in the community of St. Mary\u2019s South.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Described as \u201ca charismatic community organizer,\u201d he believes that great leaders are honed by serving the needs of the people.\u00a0 Accordingly, he is the co-founder of \u201cProject Bolans,\u201d a group formed out of love for the community and the desire to see it move in a positive direction.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Political Leader Harold Lovell says that \u201cSimon is ready to roll up his sleeves and do the hard work that is needed in St. Mary\u2019s South.\u00a0 He is determined to help tackle the neglect of the young people, the spiralling cost of living, and the other challenges that are making life tough \u2013 not only for his constituents, but for too many Antiguans and Barbudans.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Lovell adds that he and his colleagues welcome Simon to the slate, and the Party will be putting out its best efforts to ensure that he covers the most ground in the shortest possible time.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile, the UPP salutes Brother Marshall for the sterling work he has done in the constituency these many years, and it reiterates its pledge to support him on his journey to recovery and good health.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With skill sets across various disciplines, including law, tourism, economics and agriculture, Marshall is earmarked to play\u00a0 a major role in the UPP Administration, the Political Leader says.<\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-2139984946\"
