REAL NEWS:
Elated, relieved, and happy are some of the words that former St. Mary’s South MP Kelvin “Shugy ” Simon has used to describe his feelings about Wednesday’s victory in the High Court.
In short, the Court has dismissed a challenge to Simon’s victory at the January polls, brought on the allegation that he had been ineligible for nomination.
The petitioner had asked the Court to declare Simon’s win a nullity, charging that he had not resigned his public-service position before being nominated as the United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate for St. Mary’s South.
Further, Aaron was asking the Court to declare the Antigua Labour Party candidate, Samantha Marshall, the winner, since she had amassed the second-highest number of votes – although Simon had beaten her by almost 200 votes.
Speaking to REAL News correspondent George Wehner after the judge’s decision, Simon said the court case, in essence, was a challenge to the democratic decision of the people who, overwhelmingly, had elected him.
He also described the case as frivolous, declaring that democracy is under threat from the Gaston Browne Administration.
Simon’s attention is now focused on the by-election, with a public rally set for Thursday night, July 6, in Bolans.
Meanwhile, an equally elated D.Gisele Isaac, UPP chairman, says she is relieved at the Court’s decision and happy that this part of Simon’s journey is over and he can now focus on winning the by-election.
Isaac is expressing confidence that the UPP candidate will be successful at the polls yet again during his second outing.

Think b4 you speak APOSTLE SHUGY SIMON
@ Smh
Oh shut up! Crawl back in your hole…….you of all people should be looking in the mirror and repeating your written words.
You guys have so shame whatsoever, even when Gaston and Gerry Watt get you to sell your souls.
Well done your Honourable Kelvin ‘Shuggy’ Simon. Those who believes in a vibrant democracy in Antigua & Barbuda are pleased.
However, a word of warning though, Gaston Browne and the ABLP are hurting bad and we must also remember that the Prime Minister has very BIG SLEEVES and he’s got something nasty up them.
The only time he works he brain HARD is to destabilise democracy and circumvent the law.
IF THE PM FOCUSED ON THE BETTERMENT OF THE COUNTRY IN THE SAME WAY, WE WOULD HAVE A STRONGER STANDING ON THE WORLD’S STAGE … SOMETING WRONG WID HE BAD!
