LOO Calls For Redistricting Before Elections
posted (June 4, 2024)
And finally from the leader of the opposition, he spoke about the amendment to the Representation Of The People's Act which went to the house onThursday. The bill carries the doomed re-divisioning report - which will be rejected by the house.

But, what next? The Leader of the opposition says they have to do an urgent re-districting exercise:

Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"I would hope, because I understand that the bill is going to be voted down. Because obviously the opposition disagrees and understand that there are some members of the government that disagree."

"But I am saying on record, the Opposition supports and demands that redistricting take place before the next general elections and the same way that bills are presented to the House and taken to all of its stages in one day. I am disappointed and disgusted that that was not done for the representation of the Peoples Amendment so that we could vote it down, get a new task force."
