Elisha Norbert Stands Firm: Refutes Resignation Rumors from Teaching Role

Elisha Norbert, the newly endorsed candidate for the United Workers Party (UWP) in Micoud North, has resolutely dismissed demands from his political rival, Jeremiah Norbert of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP), to resign from his teaching role. With over twenty years in education, Elisha defended his record during a UWP press conference, deeming the request baseless. “I have little to say to Jeremiah; citizens know resignation calls are for those failing in their duties,” he stated. Highlighting impressive appraisal scores—averaging over 85%—he emphasized his dedication. Elisha urged Jeremiah to concentrate on his ministerial responsibilities, particularly regarding disabilities and crime prevention. Conclusively, he reassured, “I’m not stepping down; let me fulfill my duties as long as necessary, awaiting the official election announcement.”
