Party leaders travelled north on Thursday

LEADER OFTHE Unity Labour Party (ULP), Dr Ralph Gonsavles, and leader of the New democratic Party (NDP), Dr Godwin Friday both went to constituencies in the north of the mainland on Thursday, one on the leeward end, the other on the windward end.

After casting his vote at the CW Prescod Primary School in the East Kingstown Constituency, Dr. Gonsalves travelled by helicopter to North Leeward, landing at Petit Bordel and then travelling to Chateaubelair to do a ‘constituency scan’, SEARCHLIGHT was told.

Dr. Friday ahead of travelling to Bequia to cast his ballot on Thursday afternoon did a swing, starting in the North of the mainland (Windward) to ‘rally the troops’. There were rather unsavoury incidents on both ends of the north- on the windward end- on Wednesday where political opponents are reported to have mobbed Dr. Gonsalves, trying to block his vehicle from going to the office of his North Windward candidate, Dr. Grace Walters.
