OPPOSITION LEADER OWEN ARTHUR today told the woman he and four of his parliamentary colleagues ousted from the leadership of the Barbados Labour Party [BLP] that the country and the party needed her.
With Mia Mottley sitting in the general audience at the party’s 72nd annual conference at Deighton Griffith Secondary School, Arthur thanked the former BLP political leader for the service she had rendered to the party and said he thought “the world of her”.
This followed Saturday’s decision by Mottley to withdraw her candidature for the position of chairman of the party and her accusations that the process to select delegates to vote for that position had been tainted. Arthur did not touch on Mottley’s specific concerns. (WG)
More details coming.
Owen: Mia, we need you
