DeFreitas is being warmly welcomed by the St. Paul Branch executive, who recruited him, and the fearless Candidate says he is enthusiastic about his new assignment and “happy to serve.”
Political Leader Jamale Pringle has expressed confidence in deFreitas’ ability to make an immediate impact in St. Paul – especially since he has maternal roots in the village of Liberta.
A well-known advocate for youth and entrepreneurship, deFreitas hosts the program “Hard Look” every weekday on Progressive FM. In the 2023 General Election, he represented the Party in St. John’s City South.
Meanwhile, at the Central Executive Committee meeting held last night, March 24, Marsh officially tendered his withdrawal, explaining it is highly unlikely that he could complete the renunciation of his United States citizenship before the imminent elections.
However, Marsh, an attorney, noted that “operatives of the Labour Party have been spreading misinformation” about his reason for withdrawing.
Accordingly, he asserted that he remains “committed to the United Progressive Party and its ‘People First’ philosophy,” and pledged to continue working toward victory in the General Election.
The Central Executive acknowledged Marsh’s significant contributions and thanked him for the service and support he rendered in his capacity as a Caretaker.
