Roger Smith’s exit as a candidate for St Philip West has come as a “comprehensive shock” to political leader of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP), Owen Arthur.
Smith, a Sagicor insurance executive, has written the party, withdrawing as a candidate for “personal reasons”.
The sudden resignation was reportedly accepted by the BLP’s national executive council Wednesday night.
“It comes as a great shock,” the Opposition Leader said yesterday.
“He is a young man with a family and there is no graceful way to have to go through these things in public life, but that is what it is. The party will have to go on.”
