Jamale Pringle announces Kelton Dalso as UPP Caretaker for St. George
Jamale Pringle, Opposition leader and political leader of the UPP has announced that Kelton Dalso will be the party’s candidate for the St. George constituency in the upcoming elections.
Dalso emerged the victor during a primary election in St. George held last night on January 19th.
Mr. Dalso has been active in politics for over 30 years and was the former campaign manager for Mr. Adolphus Freeland, the ABLP stalwart who represented the same constituency from 1976 to 1999.
He last contested elections as a member of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) party in the 2018 national elections.
Dalso was appointed as the Mobilization Officer for the DNA during its Congress in June 2021 and again planned to contest St. George in the 2023 elections before departing from the party in November 2022.
Regarding this new appointment, OL Pringle says he is confident that Dalso has the energy and commitment needed to not only keep the branch in the UPP column but to move it forward as well.
“He’s a son of St. George, a well-known businessman, a team player, and no novice to politics or national affairs,” stated Pringle in a recent press release.
Dalso, who was recently called to the Bar of England and Wales was one of three contenders for the St. George caretaker position, including Kem Riley and Jermaine Kentish.
