Taan Abed has called it a day with the Democratic Labour Party (DLP).
Abed, who was rejected by the party’s general council as its representative for the Christ Church West constituency in the next general election told the WEEKEND NATION yesterday he was finished with the party which he had served for over 30 years.
His decision was apparently triggered by a no-show of the party’s general council on Thursday night to hear his grievance and objection to being overlooked for the Christ Church West riding.
The DLP hierarchy opted for attorney-at-law Verla DePeiza whom Abed defeated 86-5 at the constituency’s nomination process earlier this year.
“I have had enough. I am not continuing with this. I am resigning from the party completely,” a fuming Abed said, noting that his resignation announcement would be followed with a letter in the mail to the party’s George Street headquarters today.
