Congratulations Dr.
We have every confidence in you. I am one of those supporters that believe in those that believe we UWP are going to win. We can win and we will win. Dr. Cuffy has the full backing of his constituency.
Try not to get ahead of yourself, and be realistic. No way UWP is winning this election. Half prepared, running like a mad fowl looking for candidates last minute. The energy and resources behind the DLP campaign says it all. Smell the Coffee People!!
Dr. Cuffy is one of those pillars in the community. An honest citizen. He cares and means what he says. A true down to earth Man. UWP has a man of the people and for the people. It’s time we have community members and not politicians looking after our interests.
Always UWP to come up with those types of comments. When those same community leaders come in power, they become politicians looking after their own interests.
IF this is the man going to run for elections, there is no hope. look how he playing football
