Andy Wescot and recipient of the email responded to Hughes by saying "Thanks for the link; unfortunately we're not interested in any of UPP's candidates for this upcoming election; frankly, we think you and PPA stood a better chance running on your own and not with T.O. This is the very same Theo that you, Gracita, and the PPA publicly labeled corrupt; Gracita, in her departure from the DP, publicly chastised T.O. and his wheeling and dealing as her main excuse to leave the Democratic Party. What is really taking place at this time? Do you and your former PPA followers expect the people of St. Martin to forget the dislike and distrust you had all these years for Theo Heyliger?
We and by extension, the people of St. Maarten, can't and won't.
And why now? Are the rumors that the UPP paid big money to the PPA to "Team-UP" for St. Martin true?
No, Don, we urge everyone copied to VOTE RED, VOTE FOR EXPRIENCE, and VOTE DP!
Shortly after receiving the response Hughes responded by saying "Thanks for responding, however only "Time will tell!" As her majesty's loyal opposition in Government the PPA under the leadership of Gracita made every effort to do her job to the best of her ability. She preached Transparency, good governance and she constantly urged those in the position of power to try and better the lives of our people. As the number 2 Candidate on the UPP slate, she will maintain her position on these issues and based on that simple facts, I will support her candidacy....You will undoubtedly follow your leader and I will follow mine. On September 17th, I am voting Green.
Wishing you all the best in this campaign. There is one fact that I must before ending DP's Slandering tactics will get you nowhere this election. Neither Gracita nor any member that followed her lead can be bought for any price. Please remember these words: Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense. People are tired of those same old dirty DP tactics. May the best team win!"
