Video: PLP Announce Dr Dill As C36 Candidate
[Updating] The Progressive Labour Party [PLP] is holding a press conference today [August 30] to announce their candidate for the Constituency 36 Sandys North by-election. We will have additional coverage later on and in the meantime the live video is below.
The by-election – which was called due to the resignation of PLP MP Kathy Lightbourne-Simmons — will be held on October 4th.
There will be at least three candidates in this by-election, possibly even four if the FDM announces a candidate, as Carl Neblett is the OBA’s candidate for the seat and independent candidate Cire Bean has also announced that he will stand in the by-election.
Since the one seat system started in 2003, the PLP have won Constituency 36 in all 5 General Elections. In the 2020 General Election, Ms Lightbourne-Simmons won the seat with 59.04% of the vote, the FDM’s Marc Bean was second with 25.34% of the vote and the OBA’s Jeff Sousa was third with 15.62% of the vote.
Update 2.14pm: The PLP is announcing that Reverend Dr. Emily Gail Dill — who is currently a Senator — will be their candidate for the by-election.

Well done EmilyGail!
You WILL retain Sandys North for the PLP.
She will be slaughtered. Barely known outside of the church and had little to say in the Senate. Yep. PLP your days are numbered. Your internal writers can prepare some nice words for speeches but her presence will not resonate with the voters. Did they test the waters with a few calls? Or she was the only person to apply?She looks nice in the green dress but it’s a no.
Do you actually live amongst the people in Somerset? if you did, you would know better. i am not a PLP supporter, but will not stand by while people with no knownledge, talk this way!
But it isn’t as simple as that. By elections typical punish a failing party, and my god do the PLP need punishing. What a mess.
PLP ALL DE WAY
