U.D.P. Says Elections & Boundaries Should Review Concepcion Decision

On Wednesday, the Elections and Boundaries Department announced the cancellation of nominations and bye-election to fill a post vacated in the Concepcion Village Council.  The department, however, did not give a reason for the cancellation of the exercises.  Earlier today, the United Democratic Party wrote to the Chief Elections Officer requesting an immediate revision of the cancellation.  The U.D.P. is of the view that the decision is not lawful and is prepared to challenge it court should the need arise.  In that latter it goes on to say, “the nomination and bye-election were occasioned by the November eight, 2023 resignation of former member, Rosalva Moh.  Having lost her bid for the post of chairperson in the December tenth, 2023 bye-election, Mrs. Moh rescinded her resignation, expecting to continue in the member position from which she resigned a month and four days earlier”.
