Ian Gooding-Edghill gets BLP nomination for St Michael West Central

A SENIOR HOTEL OFFICIAL, Ian Gooding-Edghill, was nominated unopposed this evening to represent the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) in the St Michael West Central constituency in the next general election.

The nomination took place during a meeting of the constituency branch at the Lawrence T. Gay Memorial Primary School. The nomination now has to be sanctioned by the BLP’s leadership.

In his acceptance speech, Gooding-Edghill said he wanted a better deal for the people of the constituency, which he charged had problems, including high unemployment.

Gooding-Edghill was defeated in the last election by Democratic Labour Party (DLP) candidate James Paul, in the same constituency. (TY)
