High Court to Hear Case Challenging Kelvin ‘Shugy’ Simon’s Election Today

1. Shuggy, I feel in my bones that the courts have already long decided your fate (as they come across as part of an awful tripartite that comes together when their status is at risk – I hope and pray I’m wrong).

   This treated has a distinct WHIFF of trickery about it – that’s how the ABLP roll.

   ANTIGUA’S DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION AND POLITICAL RIGHTS ARE AT STAKE HERE …

   • *treatment

   • DECIDED FATE? OR LEGITIMACY OF NOMINATION?:

     There is no ‘FATE’ to be ‘…DECIDED.’ Not a crime.

     That which is before the ‘Elections Court’ and needs a ‘Declaration, are:

     (i) ‘…Whether or not the ‘Candidate’ then, was ‘Properly nominated to contest the General
     Elections: and

     (2) …To make a determination that:

     (a) ‘…He was so properly nominated; or

     (b) …He was not.

     NOW:

     If he was, then he returns to the House of Representatives; and

     If he was not, a way shall be found to address his ‘…RESIGNATION.’

     This is not a determination for the Court.

     The Court is not ‘Parliament,’ and this is certainly not for ‘ABEC.’

     It appears more than ‘ACADEMIC.’

     As ‘Public Interest’ seems exceedingly high (Electorate wanting to know what their ‘Votes’ are worth), the Court shall hear ‘Legal Arguments,’ and look into the ‘Merits’ of the ‘Petition.’

     Then ‘Rule’ accordingly.

     • You speak as if no SKULLDUGGERY couldn’t take place here in Antigua @ Rawlston.

       May I remind of the pending SKULLDUGGERY at present, and STILL with no accountability.

       Here’s just 10 to start with:

       1) No openness about NAMCO

       2) No accountability regarding the current use of the Citizenship Investment Programme (CIP)

       3) The requirement for an independent enquiry into how the Africans came to Antigua in the first instance

       4) How was the funds found prior to the run-up to the last General Election, but cannot be found now

       5) The current Health Minister still requires Antiguans to take the banned AstraZeneca mRNA vaccine

       6) Those flights into Antigua under the cover of darkness

       7) The ongoing delays into a thorough investigation of the death of the customs officer Nigel Christian

       8) How has a Minister or Ministers – after 2 terms of office – accumulated so much UNACCOUNTABLE wealth without any open declaration to the citizens of Antigua?

       9) How has Prime Minister Browne won so many litigation cases? His percentage of wins are ABNORMALLY higher than most people

       10) And how the hell has no-one questioned and held the government to account for their ENTANGLEMENT into the awful deaths of the Africans that drowned trying to escape Antigua and get to America?

       MUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT DON’T YOU THINK?

2. This is willful character assassination if you ask me. The members of this government fully knew that the man was within his rights to resign, but continue down this vindictive road to tarnish the man’s reputation by insinuating that he is a cheat and a liar.
   If Shuggy were to loose this bi-election (which he won’t) I would go after these corrupt vile humans with a defamation case, now that would be a real court case instead of this frivolous nonsense they have before the high courts.
   The courts will not give the election victory to Samantha , because this is simply not in the constitution, so all this time wasting and slandering of a good man’s character is just sickening.
   The courts do not like to meddle in politics and it’s outcome when the people have already spoken.
   The votes were already counted, plain and simple, so let’s just move on please.
   I don’t even know why was this even a story in the first place? Smdh.

3. The virgin will hear today (well at least initially since a decision may take a few weeks) whether not having the oil ready makes him foolish. Imagine he now contends he has no faith in the court to be fair yet watch him making decisions that say the opposite. He first goes to court arguing this should not be a matter for the court, and the court makes clear he is wrong. Then he gambles unnecessarily that resigning will quash the court matter. Then again he is a UPP candidate and we all know their willingness to shoot themselves in the foot, just for attention.

4. Simon is NOT above the law! Other public servants have resigned BEFORE Nomination Day. What makes his so special?

   • @Hmmm in their 1999 manifesto, UPP made clear they planned to change thinsg to allow the person tghe option of coming back into the service. Well not surprising when they won in 2004, those and many other promises were forgotten

     ““Provide assurances to Civil Servants that any person who resigns his/her position
     to participate in national political office on any party ticket, or as an independent
     candidate, will not lose his/her accrued benefits or any privilege or previous
     entitlement available prior to resignation. Further, any person who is unsuccessful
     in an election will, upon re-application, be either re-instated in the position
     provided it is still vacant or, be offered a position similar in duties to that which
     was previously held;”

     • @ Hmmmm and tenman, I see that you both are still defending the indefensible. Embarrassing to say the least.

       What say you both on Sir Gerald Watt’s back-tracking, back-sliding and being proved wrong?
