The main Opposition’s ranks appear to be waning in the aftermath of the July 26 general election. Pinkley Francis served as United Workers Party chairman in the run-up to the 2021 polls. He confirmed his departure from the UWP with MBC Prime on October 7. The surprise announcement comes weeks after ex-Castries Mayor Peterson Francis, appointed under the former Chastanet led Administration, penned the former chairman requesting he along with other UWP executives remove themselves from a proposed review of the Party’s failed reelection bid. Despite his resignation from the chairmanship, Pinkley Francis says there is, “…no love lost…” between him and the UWP.
