To Whom It May Concern,<\/p>

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

I am writing as a long-standing and committed supporter of the party, and I do so with a level of frustration and disappointment that I can no longer ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am deeply troubled by the confusion surrounding who is actually leading the UPP. This uncertainty has now crossed a line into something far more serious. Recently, Harold Lovell came to my home presenting himself as the leader and seeking my support. The man should know me, and I did not tell him who I was. That encounter<\/p>

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

was not only unwelcome, but it also felt sneaky, dishonest, misleading and completely out of touch with the reality that many of us understand. My household does not stan for that.<\/p>

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

Let me be clear: my support has been firmly with Jamal Pringle \u2014 someone I know personally, someone I went to school with, and someone I believe represents a more honest and grounded direction for the party. To have that loyalty disregarded and undermined in such an unscrupulous manner is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will not resort to childish name-calling or say that Mr. Lovell is a<\/p>

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

\u201cpunk\u201d or a \u201cwimp,\u201d as others including my friend Joane. However, I will say this plainly \u2014 his actions come across as deceptive, sneaky and fraudulent. That kind of behavior is exactly why the party finds itself in disarray today. A lack of transparency, internal confusion, and what appears to be power struggles are eroding the very foundation of what we are supposed to stand for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is most disappointing is that I was prepared to put aside my personal reservations. I was willing to swallow my pride and vote for what I considered the worst option, simply for the sake of unity and<\/p>

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

progress. But after witnessing this level of deception firsthand, I have made my decision.<\/p>

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

I will not be voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a decision I take lightly. It is the result of deep frustration, disappointment, and a loss of confidence in the people from the Lovell\u2019s faction and direction they want to take the party. If things continue on this path, I fear many others will come to the same conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot expect loyalty from supporters while operating in a manner that breeds distrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely, A Disappointed<\/p>\n
