The Democratic Labour Party (DLP) says the resignation of former candidate Shaquani Hunte came as a surprise and no reason was given for the move.
Hunte was a candidate in the St Michael West constituency and the spokesperson on youth and development.
“After a week in which Ms Hunte was fully involved in our Young Democrats’ week of activities, the DLP received a terse letter of resignation, which did not speak to a reason for her decision.
“We will not speculate as to Ms Hunte’s reason and will allow her the right of a dignified departure without making any moral judgements,” the DLP said in a media release.
During her time with the party, Hunte served as Vice-President, President of the Young Democrats, and was an active member of the Women’s League.
The DLP thanked her for her service “with energy and distinction” to the party and wished her well in her future endeavours.
Calls to Hunte went unanswered. (PR/SAT)
