🗳️ Respect for Political Signage: A Call to the Community
The Progressive Labour Party (PLP) calls on the community to respect the political signage of all parties. We have also experienced our signs being damaged and taken down. This should not happen, and we urge all members of the community to respect the signage of all candidates, parties, and campaigns during this election. 🙏

🔄 A Choice This Election
On February 19th, either the OBA or the PLP will be in government. Jarion Richardson wants to be the Premier of this country, and Bermudians deserve to know his record in the House of Assembly and how he’s conducted himself.
But don’t just take our word for it—ask former OBA senator, Chairman, and candidate Justin Mathias, who called the OBA “fundamentally flawed” and a “trainwreck of an organisation.” It was not the PLP, but the former OBA chairman who said that the OBA “don’t have individuals who have the calibre to form government.” 🚂
