Dear Editor,<\/p>

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

A week after the by-election, one might expect a heartfelt public thank-you letter to the voters of St. Peter from the United Progressive Party\u2019s leadership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Gisele Isaac\u2019s latest op-ed serves as yet another desperate attempt to spin a disastrous campaign into something worth celebrating. Let\u2019s be real: the only thing \u201chistoric\u201d about George Wehner\u2019s candidacy was the magnitude of its failure.<\/p>

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

Where were Isaac\u2019s insights when the UPP needed them most? Nowhere. She\u2019s quick to commend Wehner\u2019s discipline, but neither he nor the party demonstrated anything resembling a coherent, winning strategy. <\/p>

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

Now, Isaac is fighting shadows\u2014deflecting blame, conjuring excuses, and avoiding the hard truth: the UPP\u2019s decline under her leadership is both undeniable and inexcusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the moment Wehner\u2019s name was announced, it was clear the campaign was doomed. His rhetoric may have stirred a handful of supporters, but it lacked substance, vision and solutions.<\/p>

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

His opponent, Rawdon Turner, released a comprehensive 26-page manifesto, while Wehner\u2019s policy platform was nonexistent. Unless you attended the UPP rallies or caught the odd radio interview, his message was impossible to discern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where were the official articles, the campaign materials, the structured communication strategy? Isaac, the supposed architect of the UPP\u2019s \u201cnear election victory\u201d in 2023, was conspicuously absent when it came to providing any of this support.<\/p>

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

And then there\u2019s the timing. Why did the UPP wait until the eleventh hour to name Wehner as their candidate? Isaac, instead of stepping up to guide the party through a critical period after Asot Michael\u2019s passing, jetted off to Ghana. <\/p>

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

When the UPP desperately needed strong leadership, it was left floundering, scrambling to assemble a campaign. With maximum of 120 days to call the by-election, a candidate should have been in place before the end of November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Isaac\u2019s lack of urgency derailed any chance of success. In September, the Political Leader, Jamale Pringle, announced that he was ready to announce 10 candidates. So why was the Party caught flat footed and scrambling to name a candidate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election itself was an unmitigated disaster. Wehner didn\u2019t just lose\u2014he failed to secure any meaningful votes from Asot Michael\u2019s base. The outright rejection of the UPP is a damning indictment of the party\u2019s inability to connect with voters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voter turnout was abysmal, highlighting a glaring failure to motivate the electorate. Where were the efforts to encourage re-registration or engage the community effectively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac\u2019s attempt to blame ABEC\u2019s infractions is laughable. These very issues have plagued elections for years, yet the UPP has done nothing meaningful to address them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many times must we hear the same tired complaints before the party takes action? Pointing fingers at ABEC won\u2019t solve these problems. The ABLP was known for filing injunction after injunction while in Opposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real question is: what is the UPP doing to address these electoral issues as well as its own organizational chaos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk strategy\u2014or rather, the lack thereof. Where was the UPP\u2019s campaign infrastructure? Who was managing canvassing, data collection, PR and outreach? Why wasn\u2019t there a solid plan in place for election night? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, where was Gisele Isaac on election night? The UPP\u2019s leadership failed at every turn. Isaac, as chair, should have been the driving force behind a cohesive, effective campaign. Instead, she stood by as the party floundered, and now she is ready to offer excuses instead of solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac\u2019s delusional praise for Wehner\u2019s \u201cperformance\u201d only underscores her disconnection from reality. Her claim that a small executive team nearly delivered \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
