In wake of inclement weather, DLP postpones Marigot candidate launch

The launch of Dominica Labour Party candidate has been postponed due to inclement weather conditions across the island. The launching of Marigot candidate, Gregory Riviere at the Marigot Fisheries Complex scheduled for Sunday, July 28 has been postponed for an undecided time.

Giving information DLP leader and Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said, “The Dominica Labour Party wishes to advise that due to the inclement weather currently affecting the country and on the advice of local weather authorities, the grand launching of Gregory Riviere at the Marigot Fisheries Complex scheduled for TODAY July 28, 2019, has been postponed. A new date for the event will be announced later.”

A tropical wave is projected to move across the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours. This wave is expected to generate an increase in cloudiness and shower activity which could be moderate to heavy at times and isolated thunderstorms across most of the island chain, including Dominica, particularly during today. The unstable conditions are expected to linger into Monday.

People in areas that are prone to flooding, landslide and falling rocks should exercise extreme caution mainly from Sunday.

This is the second time when DLP has to postpone its event due to weather conditions. Notably, candidate launch of Joseph Isaac was also postponed a week further due to heavy rains.
