WATCH: UPP Names Adrian Williams as Candidate for St. John’s City South Ahead of General Elections
The United Progressive Party (UPP) has officially selected Adrian Williams as its candidate for the St. John’s City South constituency in the upcoming general election.
The announcement follows what party officials described as a successful meeting of the UPP’s Central Executive Committee on April 1, where the decision was finalized. In a notable move, the party has waived its standard membership requirement to allow Williams to contest the seat.
Party leadership also confirmed that its full slate of candidates will be formally ratified during a General Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 7.
In a statement, the UPP extended congratulations to all selected candidates and constituency branches, commending them for completing the internal processes leading up to the final ratification stage.
The development signals the party’s continued preparation for the impending general election, with attention now turning to the official endorsement of its full team of candidates.
