UPP names George Wehner as Candidate to Contest St. Peter By-Election
Jamale Pringle, Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), is confirming that George Wehner will represent the Party in the St. Peter By-Election slated for January 14, 2025.
Wehner has been unanimously endorsed by the St. Peter Branch, whose members applaud his demonstrated commitment to the Party and its objectives.
Wehner first represented the UPP in the 2018 General Election, when he contested the St. George seat.
Since then, as the Party’s Mobilization Officer, he has made a name for himself nationally through his video exposes of the Gaston Browne Administration’s shortcomings and failures.
“We have every confidence in Brother Wehner,” Pringle says. “His loyalty is unquestionable. His work ethic is unmatched. And his commitment to the principles of the Party is undisputed. These are the qualities our supporters are looking for in all the Party’s representatives.”
Pringle says the UPP and the St. Peter Branch will be launching an all-out by-election campaign immediately, and he is encouraging all constituents to have their Voter ID cards revalidated at the earliest opportunity.

No one is perfect and we all have faults and a past. Let George Wehner be and it is up to the electorates in St Peters to choose the person they want to present them in parliament.
