Fortunately or unfortunately the boundaries cut created some changes but as we know life is about change.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you have control over change and there are times when there is no control at all. Unfortunately, I had no control over the boundary changes that occurred however, I must accept that change and make the most of an unwelcomed changed. When\u2026 life gives you lemons make lemonade.<\/p>\n<p>So to all of my people, friends and loved ones who all became my family in the former Kennedy Constituency. I will continue to support you and your efforts but unfortunately not as the Democratic National Alliance Candidate for Kennedy and that is simply because Kennedy is no more.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate the warmth, the love and the acceptance that you gave me from St. Micheal Road to Domingo Heights on into Pinewood Gardens. The experience was second to none. I have learned alot from walking with you and talking to you. I have felt your pain and shared your joy and now wish only the best for you.<\/p>\n<p>Although this post serves as the end of my Offical DNA Kennedy Status, I am still your friend and I am still one who will fight for your cause. Feel free to contact me on my personal facebook page. You can also leave messages for me at 242-457-0339 or 242-323-2DNA.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Service<br \/>\nAlfred Poitier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alfred Poitier, the DNA candidate for the Kennedy constituency has dropped out of the election race because his constituency will no longer exist due to boundary cuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[182,168],"class_list":["post-15960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines","tag-dna","tag-politics-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
