Barbadians gearing to elect new government

Feb 20, 2013

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Feb 20, CMC – Barbadians go to the polls to elect a new government on Thursday with opinion polls predicting a victory for the main opposition Barbados labour Party (BLP). But Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is telling voters that his ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) ,which won the 2008 general election by an 20-10 margin, is still the best party to take the country forward. “In the final analysis, the assignment in this election is coming down to a government that once again can be trusted,” he said in a television broadcast on Tuesday night.
