Statement made by the General Secretary of the UDP


The United Democratic Party wish to reassure the public that recent reports in the media that our Bodden Town candidates Mark Scotland and Dwayne “John John” Seymour are disqualified from standing in the May 2009 General Election are false and have been inaccurately reported.

The fact that our candidates are entitled to contest and be elected by the people of Bodden Town in the General Election on May 20^th 2009 has been confirmed by the Elections Office and the Honourable Attorney General.

In relation to recent threats from their political opponents that they will seek to have Bodden Town’s lawfully elected representatives removed from office following the General Election our candidates are satisfied that they have made full and frank disclosure and been completely transparent with all information required from them in order to qualify them as candidates and to be elected to sit in the Legislative Assembly as your duly elected representatives for the next four years.

We humbly ask the general public and the people of Bodden Town not to allow political rumours and threats to distract you from the real issues facing this country or to discourage you from exercising your right to vote for Mark Scotland and Dwayne “John John” Seymour on May 20^th 2009. Our candidates would like to thank the people of Bodden Town for their unwavering and continued support as they continue to work for the people of Bodden Town to be properly represented on May 20^th.
