Mr. Banks expresses thanks to AUF party supporters

(The Valley, Anguilla, February 17, 2010 - AUF Release) Party leader of the Anguilla United Front Mr. Victor F. Banks has expressed his thanks and appreciation to all those who faithfully and confidently supported the party in the just concluded General Elections held on February 15, 2010.  The Anguilla United Front contested all seven constituencies on a platform of Social Reconstruction built on a Foundation of Solid Economic Progress and Development.  

Mr. Banks in his reflections on the outcome of the elections said “we have always believed that no matter the outcome of the election we are winners.  We are winners because we based our campaign on truth and integrity because we believe that only truth can endure.  We are winners because there were 2782 voters who chose to believe in the integrity of our characters; there were 2782 voters who chose to believe that we could deliver on the programmes outlined in our manifesto; there were 2782 who believed in our message of hope, love and compassion.  We thank those 2782 voters; for it is their confidence and love that fuel our will to see good come to Anguilla”.

Party leader Mr. Victor F. Banks offered his congratulations to the new government and wished them the very best as they seek to govern and manage the affairs Anguilla within the context of the realities of the global economy.

“The Anguilla United Front captured 2782 votes of the ballots cast and our party in general and our two members now in the opposition in particular will seek to ensure that Anguilla receives the best possible representation that the present government may be able to deliver.  We were the only party that offered total representation to the island and we captured the highest percentage of the votes cast.  We therefore have a responsibility to those 2782 voters as well as the others who will in the course of time come face to face with the truth, to remain vigilant and committed to the cause”, said Mr. Banks.
