The Barbados Labour Party denies there’s any meeting scheduled to consider having Michael Lashley replace Dr. Sonia Browne as the BLP’s candidate for the St. Phillip North constituency in the next general election.
Chief Executive Officer of the BLP, Senator Patricia Parris, issued the denial after being asked by Starcom Network News about the viral social media post that was in circulation over the weekend.
