(iWitness News) – As the historic constitutional election petition nears its final stages, Prime Minister Godwin Friday has described the legal challenges brought by candidates for the opposition Unity Labour Party (ULP) as a case of “sour grapes and sore losers.”
His remarks were supported by lead defence lawyer, Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan, who characterised the opposition’s legal tactics as “disingenuous” and “anti-democratic”.
The legal proceedings stem from the November 2025 general elections, where defeated ULP candidate Carlos Williams challenged Friday’s election, claiming that he was not qualified to be a candidate because of his Vincentian and Canadian citizenship.
Luke Browne has also mounted a similar challenge in East Kingstown, where he was defeated, for a second time, by Dwight Fitzgerald Bramble, who is also a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), which Friday leads.
