The United Progressive Party (UPP), under the leadership of Mr. Joshua Francis, announces its full support for Mr. Danny Lugay, the United Workers Party candidate for the Roseau North Constituency, in the upcoming by-election.

This decision is consistent with the UPP’s established commitment to building strategic cooperation among opposition forces and creating a united democratic front capable of bringing meaningful political change to the Commonwealth of Dominica.

The United Progressive Party firmly believes that a strategy of tactical voting and cooperation between opposition parties can bring down what it describes as an increasingly corrupt and inept Dominica Labour Party regime.

Mr. Danny Lugay has served the people of Roseau North with dedication and has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to public service. The UPP recognizes his experience, familiarity with the constituency, and willingness to advocate for the concerns of its residents.

The party therefore encourages the people of Roseau North to support his candidacy and return a strong opposition voice to Parliament.

The UPP’s support for Mr. Lugay reflects its broader approach of encouraging opposition unity and cooperation in the national interest. The party remains prepared to work with all individuals and organizations committed to peacefully and democratically replacing the current Dominica Labour Party administration through the ballot box.

This endorsement does not diminish the distinct identity, principles, or long-term vision of the United Progressive Party. Rather, the UPP says it demonstrates the party’s maturity and willingness to place the interests of Dominica above partisan considerations.

The UPP therefore calls upon its members, supporters, and all citizens who desire a new direction for Dominica to stand with Mr. Danny Lugay during this important by-election. It encourages everyone to participate peacefully, responsibly, and confidently in the democratic process.

The party believes that this moment requires opposition parties, civic-minded organizations, community leaders, and concerned citizens to rise above narrow political interests and work together for the greater good of the Dominican people.

According to the UPP, the country urgently needs stronger parliamentary representation, transparent leadership, accountable government, economic opportunity, and renewed respect for democratic institutions.

“Let us support Danny Lugay — more votes for Danny!”

United in purpose. Committed to change. Putting Dominica first.

The UPP continues to press for environmental stewardship and sustainable economic development, with the goal of making Dominica the best place to live.
