### *PLP TAKES GROWING POLITICAL MOMENTUM TO NEW YORK! OVER 150 ATTEND PACKED MARRIOTT PRESS CONFERENCE AS DR. TIMOTHY HARRIS AND HIS “RIGHT DIRECTION, RIGHT TEAM” PREPARE FOR MAJOR DIASPORA CHAPTER LAUNCH!* *PEOPLE’S LABOUR PARTY SET FOR NEW YORK EXPANSION! HARRIS, PEMBERTON, LAWRENCE AND HENDRICKSON HEAD TO THE BRONX FOR OCTOBER 17 TOWN HALL AND OCTOBER 18 CHURCH SERVICE!* facebook.com/share/p/1HdvWdg… **BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, OCTOBER 16, 2026** — The People's Labour Party (PLP), led by former Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, is preparing to take its political outreach beyond the shores of St. Kitts and Nevis, with a major diaspora engagement scheduled for New York City this weekend. The planned launch of the PLP New York/Northeastern United States Diaspora Chapter follows Wednesday's October 14 press conference at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, where organisers say more than 150 people gathered to hear directly from the party's leadership and candidates. **And the turnout has attracted attention.** When a political organisation can bring more than 150 people to a press conference, rather than a rally or convention, it provides a noteworthy indication of public interest in its activities. The Marriott conference room was filled with supporters, party officials, candidates and media representatives participating in the event. Seven of the PLP's eight prospective constituency candidates faced the press as the party presented its political message under the banner **“RIGHT DIRECTION, RIGHT TEAM.”** For the PLP, the gathering provided an opportunity to showcase its candidates, outline its priorities and engage with questions surrounding the Federation's future. ## FROM BASSETERRE TO THE BRONX! The political spotlight now shifts to New York City. Dr. Harris is scheduled to travel to the United States alongside deputy leaders Calvin Pemberton and Damion Lawrence, as well as Constituency Three candidate Troy “Spuddy” Hendrickson, for a weekend of engagement with nationals living abroad. The centrepiece will be **PLP DIASPORA CONNECT NYC**, a town hall scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church, 3757 White Plains Road, Bronx, New York. The event is being promoted as an opportunity for Kittitians and Nevisians overseas to engage directly with the party's leadership, discuss national development and hear the PLP's plans for the Federation. The delegation is also scheduled to attend a special worship service at the same church on Sunday, October 18, at 11:00 AM. These activities form part of the party's efforts to strengthen its organisational presence among diaspora communities throughout the northeastern United States. ## DR. HARRIS: “WE HAVE BEEN WORKING” Dr. Harris has consistently emphasised political organisation, grassroots engagement and preparation. Speaking at the party's August 2026 convention, Harris declared: **“While they have been talking, we have been working. We have been preparing ourselves for a future, for the challenges ahead.”** His remarks reflect the party's emphasis on political preparation, team-building and sustained community outreach. ## WHAT DOES THE TURNOUT SIGNAL? For the PLP, Wednesday's attendance represents an encouraging indication of interest in its political activities. The gathering also demonstrates the party's efforts to bring its candidates and leadership before the public as it prepares for the next general election. However, attendance at a political event is not itself a measurement of voting intentions. Electoral support will ultimately depend on how voters assess the party's proposals, candidates and record. The New York launch will provide another opportunity to gauge participation in the party's activities beyond the Federation's shores. It also highlights the importance of the diaspora in discussions surrounding economic ....... facebook.com/share/p/1HdvWdg…

*TROY “SPUDDY” HENDRICKSON CALLS FOR GREATER NATIONAL PRIDE, RESPONSIBILITY AND HIGHER STANDARDS* whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vac… BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS — Troy “Spuddy” Hendrickson is urging nationals of St. Kitts and Nevis, both at home and throughout the diaspora, to take a more active role in the country’s development, declaring that national pride must be matched by responsibility, performance and a commitment to higher standards. In a message focused on “National Pride & Responsibility,” Hendrickson said Kittitians and Nevisians living overseas remain an important part of the Federation’s story and future. “No matter where you live — whether here in St. Kitts and Nevis or across the seas — you remain an essential part of our nation’s story,” Hendrickson stated. He said the accomplishments of nationals abroad continue to bring recognition and pride to the Federation, while their involvement, investment and expertise can also make an important contribution to development at home. But Hendrickson stressed that national pride by itself is not enough. He argued that genuine progress requires citizens to demand strong performance from themselves, their institutions and the wider society. “Progress cannot happen if we allow St. Kitts and Nevis to remain on a path of low or no performance,” he said. Hendrickson called for higher standards across education, business, community development and governance, saying everyone has a role to play regardless of where they live. For citizens at home, he encouraged hard work, support for local institutions and greater involvement in building stronger communities. For nationals overseas, Hendrickson appealed for continued investment, the sharing of professional expertise and the maintenance of strong connections with St. Kitts and Nevis. His message also challenged citizens to think about patriotism as something deeper than symbolism. “National pride is not just about waving the flag,” Hendrickson said. “It is about ensuring that the flag represents excellence, resilience and ambition.” The message places personal and collective responsibility at the centre of national development, with Hendrickson calling on citizens to resist complacency and continually push for better outcomes. He said responsibility means refusing to accept mediocrity and instead working towards a Federation capable of competing, progressing and earning respect internationally. The wider message is one of shared national duty. Whether at home or abroad, Hendrickson believes every citizen has something to contribute — through service, investment, knowledge, community involvement or simply by demanding higher standards in everyday life. His call is straightforward: national pride must be demonstrated through action. And for St. Kitts and Nevis to move forward, Hendrickson says citizens everywhere must help build a country defined not simply by its potential, but by excellence, resilience, ambition and results.
