PM to Reveal Who Lewis Allegedly Spoke to About Interest in ABLP Alliance
UPP MP for St Johns Rural West Richard Lewis denied discussing negotiations to leave the United Progressive Party, but PM Browne claimed on his Facebook page Sunday that Lewis expressed his desire to three ABLP ministers to become an independent member of parliament while taking up an ambassadorial position in Jamaica.
“I confirm on this good Sunday morning that three of my ministers reported to me that the discussions above were held with Richard Lewis. I accepted Richard’s proposal with the provision that there would be no negotiations on the candidature in Rural West, because I am confident that we have a winner in Michael Joseph Browne wrote
PM Browne said that while Lewis has not directly spoken with him, “next Saturday, I will reveal the names of the Ministers you spoke with”.
“Richard, I hold no enmity towards you, but felt compelled to reiterate the truth, in light of your vehement public denial. Much love & blessings”, Browne said.
Lewis is reportedly in Jamaica on family business; however, Browne claimed that he allegedly left Antigua “to get a respite from Giselle Isaac et al. and the toxic situation in the UPP.”
