George Payne, the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) Member of Parliament for St Andrew has accused Opposition Leader Mia Mottley of deliberately undermining the chances of the BLP in the Febuary 21, general election
Payne's accusation was revealed in an affidavit lodged in the High Court by St. James North MP Edmund Hinkson, who claimed that at a meeting held at the BLP’s Roebuck Street, St. Michael headquarters on February 25, St. Andrew MP George Payne said Mottley assisted the Democratic Labour Party in the election.
The affidavit stated that Payne accused Mottley of “treacherous and disloyal” conduct by aiding defeated Democratic Labour Party candidate Irene Sandiford-Garner in her campaign against him.
According to the affidavit, Payne specifically accused Ms Mottley of putting one of her vehicles at the disposal of Irene Sandiford-Garner for use during the campaign
Hinkson’s affidavit is a response to a lawsuit for defamation brought by Payne against him on April 25. Hinkson, an attorney-at-law, also stated that Payne accused Mottley of assisting the DLP in their campaign against St. Joseph MP Dale Marshall.
