Managing Director of the Caribbean Agency for Political Advancement (CAPA), Alex Bruno plans to conduct a post-election poll to measure voter support for the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) and the United Workers Party in the absence of overseas voters.
Bruno believes overseas voters made a difference in terms of the results of the 2019 general election, which according to preliminary results, was decided 18-3 in favor of the DLP. Prior to the 2019 General Elections, Bruno conducted a poll, predicting a win for the United Workers Party (UWP) in the 2019 General Elections held on Friday 6th December 2019. He said, “My understanding is that voters were not necessarily brought in to vote in the areas that they were from; People were contracted to vote in specific areas.”He continued saying, “You didn’t have to be from Mahaut to vote in Mahaut. Large numbers of electors allocated to different areas and those numbers voted in these areas” He told Media the DLP used immense financial resources from undisclosed sources to implement a strategy of importing people to vote in strategic areas. Bruno remarked that “If they needed 500 in Mahaut, they brought 500 there. It is a big organization which the DLP has been running for the past 15 years… and it is very tough to beat this.”He used the example of his brother-in-law who lives overseas, and whose name was used to vote in two different constituencies, to support his contention that some people voted twice. Bruno is convinced that the DLP could have won 21 seats if they wanted to, making it clear that he supports the view, that this 2019 General Elections was stolen
