UPP offers $10k reward for credible evidence of criminal activity related to SMS by-election

It has been brought to the notice of the United Progressive Party (UPP) and Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, its candidate for the St. Mary’s South, that operatives of the Antigua Labour Party are engaged in criminal activities to undermine the upcoming by-election.

There are reports that residents are being offered cash for the surrender of their voter identification cards – with the specific objective of suppressing support for Mr. Simon.

Such transactions are a criminal offense, according to the Representation of the People Act. Accordingly, the UPP is offering a reward of $10,000 to anyone who can present credible evidence that can lead to the prosecution of the person(s) engaged in this offense.

The buying of the by-election must not be allowed to go unrecorded and, subsequently, unchallenged,” the UPP Leadership says.  “The people’s right to elect the person they wish to represent them should not be subverted by means of bribery, inducement, or threats.  Elections must be won honestly.  Democracy demands no less.”

Persons having credible evidence of any such offense are encouraged to contact Mr. Simon; any member of the UPP Leadership; or the UPP Secretariat, at 462-1818,

    • What a bunch of HOGWASH and COWDUNG…UPP cry babies. This just a total DISTRACTION.. Polls are showing DWAYNE GEORGE leads SHUGY SIMON by 13 points. UPP this would not help. UPP DONE / FINISHED.

      • @ INGRAM (aka ERIC THE RED)
        This is not a distraction.

        ABLP is accustomed to buying peoples voting cards and out of the PM mouth, he admitted to transferring voters in various constituencies to enable his colleagues to win their seats.
        ABLP HAS NEVER WON AN ELECTION FAIRLY IN ANTIGUA, BECAUSE ANTIGUA PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THEM. THEIR WIN WAS FACILITATED WITH FRAUD FROM THE SE AND THE ABLP. NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF THEIVES.
        Upp find the evidence and don’t let it rest there!!!!

  1. Just chupse… When the fox cannot get the grape, he say it’s sour. Everybody done practice that. So because you were never caught, means you never did? Ya’ll so damn disgusting and annoying now.

    • @Seashell, Every single party buys tickets for their supporters if they can. You all forget Bruce Goodwin admitting publicly on RADIO to chartering a flight for Antiguan students studying in Cuba to come and vote in the 2009 elections? He even admitted that Trevor Walker would have lost if the flight wasn’t chartered.

  3. Not surprised the UPP looking excuse. A tel #? Why not also a email address? Can imagine all the rum man and other addicts that will be now calling that one # tying up the line. UPP get with the times

    • @ tenman

      You can pretend ignorance. Never once do I hear you condemning your ‘gOD’ Gaston for admittedly stealing the election. He said it out of his own mouth, but paid assassins like you just have to hop along like a kangaroo in a sack or your monthly allowance will be cut like big foot Tanny Rose. You guys don’t dare oppose the oppressor.
      But as Short Shirt sings ‘ as sure as the sun will rise, THIS GOVERNMENT WILL FALL, THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL’
      A judgement day will come, when all the sins commited will be exposed.

  4. As if dragging brother B off he sick bed was not enough…….UPP’s D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N is way below shithole level!!!

    STROKE VICTIM, now PLAY VICTIM!!!

  5. Money for voters ID and money for evidence. Lord thank you salvation is FREE! God Bless Antigua & Barbuda! I love my people! Just go out and vote! Keep it clean and safe 🧡💙♥️ 💙♥️🧡♥️💙🧡🇦🇬

    • UPP’s lame-ass vicitimizing, discriminating “ambassador” at the time. Thank God the loony-tune idiot is gone. How can you DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CITIZENS OF ANTIGUA WHOM YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT???? What a scoundrel and vile “diplomacy” from this UPP clown!! Same hateful reprobate that called non-nationals “PAUPERS”.

      Same UPP that BLOCK RICHARD LEWIS FROM LEADERSHIP BECAUSE HE MARRIED A J-A-M-A-I-C-A-N

  6. This sounds laughable. Every election, the opposition comes up with this ridiculous claim when they believe that their chances of winning is in question. They always attempt to portray their party as a paragon of virtue. Ironically, they’re offering money, 10K to “catch the criminal(s)” How laughable! This is going nowhere. Just a sham of pretentiousness. If your side wins, celebrate. Just the same, if the ABLP candidate wins, be magnanimous in defeat. All this unnecessary drama means nothing in the scheme of things. Trying to intimate SMS constituents for exercising their democratic right is unacceptable.
    But carry on…

    • @Dave Ray 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮you’re back for another round of ABLP leaders sperm smoothie! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
      Barf Dave Ray Barf! Your breath reeks of stale sperm🤮🤮🤮🤮

  8. 🥱 🥱 yawn 🥱 😴 🙄 😒

    UPP us so PREDICTABLE and LAME!! Straight from the same old tired weary “playbook”

    1). $4billion in the belly of the plane
    2). FBI coming to arrest PM Gaston in 4 days

    🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱

    UPP smells a legitimate DEFEAT!!!! For their candidate who BACKDATE the resignation letter. The ILLEGAL NOMINATED wingking up chicken-foot jet-setter

  9. This is elementary. The people of St. Peter know that all too well. The former ALP money machine bought votes totalling hundreds of thousands of dollars every election since his appearance as a candidate and NERO is upset after his departure because the now INDEPENDENT is not responsible for the thiefing campaign treasury funds; that is left to NERO to secure votes in SMS.

  10. Shugy, I feel your pain. You could have been in Miami right now enjoying Carnival, but for the by-election. Tek you blow like a man. You all forgot you all were promising people in Urlings lumber in January?

  11. You fools who commenting nonsense need fu move up cause allu the next level dunSes. Ingram and tenman are couple a de red fools especially u with de delusional poll with u and ya little ppl dem up inna ya head. Shugy 268 r u na hear… Ingram you love muscle man? Representative SMS want not a PE teacher/ gym instructor… nobody look excuse fu thief and scam more than alp so kip off UPP back tenman. A pure greed backstabbing wicked badminded selfish foolish ppl run back a alp, a u love hand out like when the teacher just give hand outs in class which was easier. Soon a r u go name the red handouts! Jail anybody r u Ketch a thief/cheat the system..

    • @Sick a red ants.. termites – wow, thank your lucky stars BB still not mobile. You could possibly be one of the persons he would knock down with his car . Like his daughter says its expected that you will get back up cause everybody know UPP love blow (masochist)

  12. Some people don’t care about a free and fair process, once the money is right they will play a part in rigging this bi-election

  13. Rage all you want Labourites and Gastonites, ALP is renowned for treating and coercion because they have no merit to campaign upon. The recordings are there and testimonials abound to confirm the normal shenanigans of this party from antiquity.
    They have been called out for their usual efforts in stealing elections,and for the first time they will be dragged into the courts for their dishonesty.
    Another master stroke by UPP, similar to the Shuggy Simon resignation. Oh how I recall how you scrambled like cockroaches when the lights come on,the 100 Watt bulb talking about,”not properly resigned,”then looking like the fool he is!Take that Labourites and Gastonites! Cuss till you’re BLUE in the face. The courts await you. About time we have law and order in our elections.
    Tell your idiot PM to do some work to benefit the country and stop lying every chance he gets.
    What the hell does he have to show for nine years? Alpha Nargo,35 failed projects, debts off the charts,can’t pay Xing Bank, uncontrolled cost of living,no stimulus when every Caribbean country helped its citizens, mandated poisons for which many are paying a dear price?
    The man is desperate and desperate times call for desperate measures. Not this time though. SMS, stand up for country, and do not be fooled by this time.

    • @Watching – Try and remember it was under the UPP that our electoral system received the most abuse. There are court judgements that show persons at the highest level of the UPP getting red cards: 1 UPP being called out by the court for breeching the constitution in amendments it tried to make to our elections laws @related to the Supervisor of elections b. related to the ABEC members 2. The court calling out the UPP PM for his ignoring their ruling 3. The court ruling that Baldwin defamed Lester Bird, in a calculated method to win an election 4. The US prosecutors pointing out that the UPP (Baldwin) was selling ambassador positions where funds was going directly into his bank account, note BS claimed the money was for the UPP 5. The illegal boundary changes the UPP tried to make, before the 2014 elections. 6. UPP underfunding the 2009 elections which caused confusion and ended up with some voters being disenfranchised.

  14. People are being murdered and no rewards are being offered to find their killers but rewards are being offered for this. Hmmmmm!!!!

  15. $10K for SOUND CLASH
    $10K for fake rumours

    UPP really lacks vision. Big up HON. DWAYNE GEORGE FOR INVESTING $25,000.00 into HIS CONSTITUENCY. He truly has the PEOPLE of sms at heart.

  16. So are they pretending to be the Police now because normally in a criminal matter, it’s the police who would put forward a reward for information that would lead to a conviction.

  17. I love Antigua to the max, but if the ABLP people can’t see that Antigua has become a dump in the pass ten years, they got to be taking drugs or are just simply duped..

    The tinking mess they call “St Johns” needs to be cleaned up…nothing saintly about that piece of dump. Everytime I come to Antigua, if I see ten people smiling it’s a miracle . The place hard hard and people just walking around like zombies.

    God told Lot if he find ten good men he will spare Sadom and Gomara, it will be hard press to find five happy people in all of Antigua.

    This Government has suck the place dry…what a damn shame. Locals can’t even get Access to their own beaches. School kids can’t even get relief from the heat in the classrooms, so their brains get fried so they steady fighting and stabbing up each other.

    Where is the social just for the youth Gatson?
    Dwayne George my arse..

    He’s totally not the answer after 14 years of neglect from this waste of a government we have here in power.

    Shame on this Administration to have the audacity to claim that they are the right leaders for this country, shame on you.
