PRIME MINISTER FREUNDEL STUART has been able to achieve levels of support on par with former Prime Minister Owen Arthur.
This is the view of the Democratic Labour (DLP) which, in a statement from its general secretary George Pilgrim yesterday, said Stuart had shown in two years an ability to muster as much support as Arthur, who led the country for 14 years.
In a media release congratulating the Prime Minister and his team on last Thursday’s 16-14 win at the polls, the DLP said its leader’s success was “all the more outstanding in light of the fact that Mr Stuart has had to endure a most uncharitable public campaign against his approach to leadership”.
It added that a small elite group seemed to have decided it had the right to pick who would lead the country and in what manner, but Barbadians had rejected this “one-size-fits-all approach to leadership”.
