Opposition Leader strongly behind Andrew John

Leader of the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), Dr Godwin Friday has fully endorsed their South Windward candidate for the next general elections, Andrew John.

The former educator and trade unionist, Andrew ‘Teach’ John, is the man who got the nod from the NDP to contest the constituency in upcoming general elections. The constituency is currently held by the Unity Labour Party (ULP); both sides have new candidates for that constituency.

At a meeting of the NDP in the village of New Prospect (Simon) on Sunday night, September 14, 2025, Dr Friday was happy to say that Andrew John ain’t no just come, to the people of the constituency.

“He ain’t jump up and say he want to become representative,” the NDP leader said.

“This is a man who has been in this community for years, as a teacher, as a principal, as an organizer.

“So you know that he feels the neglect that you feel. You know that he sees the possibilities that you also dream of,” the Opposition Leader told residents of the area.
