Former Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy is officially back in the business of politics.

President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), Verla De Peiza, announced yesterday that Sealy, a former Member of Parliament for St Michael South Central, would be shadow minister of tourism.

De Peiza, who was re-elected to the party’s top post during a contentious annual general conference last month, revealed three more of the party’s 30 candidates right after that event, and yesterday the party also made some significant changes to its shadow cabinet.

New candidates Andrew Cave, Neil Marshall and Courie Cox have been brought on board.

Sealy, who lost in the 2018 General Election when the DLP was hammered 30-0, had not been very public in party politics in recent times, but this latest move indicates he is very much back in the swing of things. (BA)
