THE New Democratic Party (NDP) says that it will leave no stone unturned in this election race.{{more}}
âThis election is very important,â Burton Williams, former Minister of Health said as he addressed a meeting of the NDP at Buccament on Saturday, April 10.
According to Williams, it was Central Leeward, a former Labour party stronghold that âbowled the stumpsâ of the then governing Labour party over 25 years ago.
Herbert Young, who was the NDP candidate, lost the by-elections in 1983 by 63 votes to the Labour Partyâs Valcina Ash, but returned the following year to win the constituency for the NDP in the general elections.
The by-election became necessary because of the death of Arthur T. Woods who held the seat for the ruling Labour Party.(DD)
