He Captioned Them Standard Bearers But Says They're Just Applicants
posted (January 8, 2025)
So though this picture posted by Barrow a day ago captioned " Great meeting with the Regional Leader and Eastern Region Standard Bearers" did lead the public to believe that standard Bearers for constituencies like Albert, Collet and Queens Square have been appointed, that's not quite so. According to Barrow some are Standard Bearers but most of them in the picture are still just applicants.

Shyne Barrow, Leader of The Opposition
"Some of the Standard Bearers are official standard bearers and the rest are applicants, they have submitted their application."

Reporter-
"Why take a photograph with just applicants?"

Shyne Barrow, Leader of The Opposition
"Why not? Who are you to tell us?"

Reporter-
"It's an action in futility if you haven't yet decided how it is you are going to go and the process is not complete yet."

Shyne Barrow, Leader of The Opposition
"Well I leave you to your opinion that is your opinion I don't think you can tell the party."

"Don't cut me off that was an attack on something that stakeholders are applicants. These people are ready to go and we are ready to go and we are not going to be held up we are not going to keep waiting at the alter and you said it so you are contradicting yourself you said that time is running out and I'm tell you that you are absolutely right. So we cannot not have an engagement of our standard bearers and our potential standard bearers they need to be ready."
