Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle says the United Progressive Party (UPP) will coordinate efforts to assist the people of Jamaica as they recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.
Speaking during an interview on Observer A.M. with Dr Jacqui Quinn, Pringle expressed solidarity with the storm-stricken nation and said the party will help organize resources and aid for those affected.
He noted that the UPP intends to raise funds and supplies through upcoming events, including the party’s Independence Banquet on November 2 at the Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union Banquet Hall.
“Hurricane Melissa has caused severe hardship for our Caribbean brothers and sisters,” Pringle said, stressing that Antiguans and Barbudans have a responsibility to stand in support. “We share a common identity and history, and when one island suffers, we all feel it.”
The UPP’s relief initiative will focus on mobilizing donations and exploring partnerships with local organizations and churches to assist in recovery efforts.
Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, battered Jamaica earlier this week with catastrophic winds, flooding, and landslides, leaving widespread damage and several fatalities.

Pringle bad to bad u nah get no strip off a this dont try u not in the possition to jump so please dance a u yatd before u go abroad
Exactly! He ain’t done fart for his constituency, but chatting crap about jamrock
UPP does NOT care about “foreigners” …worse yet JAMAICANS!!! just ask Bruce Goodwin and Richard Lewis
These ABLP idiots always making comments about the opposition not liking Jamaicans and others not born here is so disgusting. The truth is they are the the ones that hate foreigners. They realize that is what keep the the ABLP in power so they will keep repeating it. It’s the only card they have to play. History will show that when the ALP lost power Baldwin Spencer made things easier for immigrants when you dunce, you just dunce
@Gisele say NO JAMAICAN First Lady for UPP or Antigua…O lard jak, Pringle HAS to appear to be compassionate towards the so call ‘Foreigners” in their time of distress..
so…gee he wan brake!
So what does he expect as ” leader” of the official opposition party? No applause necessary! Gimme a break! In case you are completely ignorant of the norms in the aftermath of disasters, the government of the day normally commits to providing assistance in a wide variety of ways, His Majesty’s loyal Opposition normally steps up and offers assistance of food, water, clothing, finance etc, Churches across the nation, Social clubs/organisation’s and the list goes on and on…. So what exactly is your point???
