Mr. Smith pledged to continue the work of Mr Wilchcombe of one love. All the candidates from the Constituency who did not get the nomination have pledged their support in the campaign. Rev Edmund Munroe, Samuel Brown, Robert Grant and Caleb Outten made personal appearances at the council meeting.

I welcome Mr Smith to our ranks and pledge the party’s full support.
