A graduate of Munro College and first term parliamentarian with little political experience at the electoral level, John brings to the table a wealth of experience in community organization, activism, and leadership and grassroots political savvy. He is thirty-nine (39).
Following his /the formal swearing in, the Honourable Leader of the Opposition will join the UWP at Lagoon at 8:00pm where he is expected to deliver his maiden address. Among other things, John will offer his response to the budget.
John’s next order of business would be to name three senators that will join him along with Edison James and Norris Prevost in Parliament.
