Popular caller to morning talk show radio here in SVG, Stephen “BAGE” Pollard would not recoup his deposit in the recently concluded Barbados elections.
Pollard who contested as an Independent candidate in the St Andrew constituency garnered a mere 35 votes or 0.74 percent of the total votes cast in that constituency.
Long-serving BLP Member of Parliament for St. Andrew, George Payne was returned as representative with some 3,512 votes.
Pollard, a retired lab technician, in speaking to the media before the elections said that his goal was to bring a breath of fresh air to the parish of St. Andrew.
He had made the comments as he expressed concern about much-needed roadworks, choked gutters and dilapidated sporting facilities that exist in the constituency.
“People in this country say they crying out for change, so I will bring some change to St. Andrew for the people,” the 65-year old declared had declared.
Pollard according to the results was not that change.
