Bowen Named UPP Deputy Leader

22

Jamal Pringle, Leader of the United Progressive Party, has announced that Sherfield Bowen, MP for St. Phillip’s South, will be the new deputy leader.

The decision, made last night, has sparked controversy, as many expected Richard Lewis, MP for St. John’s Rural West, to be chosen.

Pringle defended his choice, praising Bowen’s wisdom, legal expertise, and professional background.

He dismissed allegations of political maneuvering, stating, “People will always speculate, but I must focus on where the party needs to go.”

  1. WOW. WOW..Richard Lewis you have one foot out the door. You must leave UPP and become INDEPENDENT. Richard the biggest mistake you made is marrying a Jamaican woman. By the way Richard neither you nor Bowen will win next election. UPP what a confusing party.

  2. Pringle ,please stop lying ! This position was promised to Bowen to removed his name from the letter and also support your leadership. Johnathan was also threatened to support your leadership or he will be replace in St. Mary’s North. You are obviously a compromised leader . People that is also affiliated to the ABLP has hands in you becoming the leader ,knowing you will be less effective lacking the interlectual capability and fluency as a person ,hence will let the UPP look weak . This is the damage the UPP executive cause. From the Chairman and others.After the UPP convention and results ,your party popularity dwindled badly . The biggest mistake was to elect you leader and the elitist chairman . God help us .

  3. WOW the hell can Jamale Pringle trust BOWEN , SERPENT , SHUGY , SMITH JR. LEWIS and Caretakers Jonathan , ALEX , SEAN BIRD ,and others. These Guys still have Pringle nursing wounds in the back. These are HYPOCRITES. UPP in TURMOIL.

    UPP has Someone on Their slate who went to PRISON as DEPUTY OPPOSITION LEADER ?? . Heaven helps Us.

  4. Some dont go to prison but heaven help us,good choice, Lewis do not love Antiguans maybe he should try running for election in Jamaica.

  5. @straighttalk
    U directly sound lie with your essay… nothing more dangerous than people who know nought and chat like they know. omg UPP leadership and executive got some yall panties in a bunch while who aryoh fa focus pon bcus they got the country living hand to mouth and scarcely that yall WILLINGLY offering apologies for and turning a blind eye to. Miss me with the BS

  6. @BE SENSIBLE

    Do you what you are talking about ? BOWEN is the chief backstabber. GISEL Isaac does NOT like Richard .

  7. well if this nah mek RICHARD LEWIS realize that Gisele and Lovell NAH WANT HE LIBBA in dem party, dunno what will!!!

    first mistake u made in their eyes was marrying a J-A-M-A-I-C-A-N!! you already know UPP HATES FOREIGNERS!!! (just ask Bruce Goodwin about de “paupers” he did see)

    You clinging on to an ABUSIVE relationship like a battered woman dat can’t “stand by her man” dat beating the crap out a she day in and out

    Richard Lewis since before 2014 UPP plan to GET RID OF YOU and you best believe that come next election UPP will NOT support you, so you will LOSE!!!

    Politics is NOT for you boy. Look how you behave in the run up to party leadership? ARROGANT, POMPOUS, COCKY, OVER-CONFIDENT, SELFISH and PUFFED UP!!!

    See how easy and comfortably the dead dog emptyhead youth put a BEATING on you good and proper???

    You are USELESS Richard!

  8. Let’s see how long the other members can play make pretend……..
    We shall see who first blink.

    The major problem with UPP is that ACLM and PLM members have disappeared. The NEWPP will be in opposition for a very long time. Jamal will have to find some young people to replace all the now candidates. Who really wants to be led by Pringle?

  9. If the UPP theoretically won enough seats to form the government, wouldn’t the elected MPs be able to select whomever they want as PM? Isn’t that how it works? So, the others should just continue to focus on trying to meet the needs of their constituents and not worry too much about in-party disagreements.

  10. Last by no means least to come on Board must be our last man standing in our ‘ghetto’ of Graysfarm, the one endorsed by No less than Hon. Sherfield Bowen, Deputy Leader of UPP.
    This triumvirate or As I would say, that Powerof the Trinity is the winning team of the UPP – Dem Nuh Fraid!

  11. So Bowens retraction of his signature endorsing Lewis for leader has paid off. UPP’s leaders are showing its supporters it has become a party lacking integrity and perhaps as corrupt as the ruling party. “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” No wonder the brightest people UPP had resigned.
    Look lakka upp lub being de opposition — carz dat ah weh aryu ah tap.
    Aryu nar get fu-me vote!

    #notounderhanddeals!
    #notocorruption!
    #antiguadeservesbetter!

  12. Bowen, your motives are crystal clear.
    You are working your way back into the ALP via the fooly UPP.

    The Dawg has explained your role to you and you are filling it to a T. Pringle will not be able to withstand the onslaught from you and the Dawg and he will chuck it in.
    Good move, Gaston Browne. Ah how dem ah say yuh nuh bright and yuh crazy?
