BRIMMING WITH CONFIDENCE, both sides in today’s general elections in St Vincent and the Grenadines are predicting victories.

Yesterday, general secretary of the ULP and campaign manager for the elections Julian Francis told the MIDWEEK NATION he was comfortable with the clean campaign his party had been conducting. And he lambasted the NDP for making “scurrilous” accusations about party leader Dr Ralph Gonsalves. (HLE)
