Freundel Stuart is a
sitting Senator of the Democratic Labour Party and the
Candidate for St. Michael South. He was
initially attracted to politics because he believed that the
informed exercise of power could reduce the glaring
disparities in wealth he observed in Barbadian society.
He listed poverty and in particular, unemployment and
inadequate housing as the major problems that his constituents
in St. Michael South currently face. He is convinced
that a sustained programme of development by an enlightened
government could wipe out the remaining vestiges of neglect
and deprivation in Barbados.
Freundel Stewart is a graduate of the
University of the West Indies with degrees in Political
Science and Law. He is a practicing Attorney-at-Law and
his practice encompasses criminal and corporate law.
Freundel Stuart has for several years been a
stalwart of the Democratic Labour Party and has served in many
capacities including that of President. He believes that
Barbados is now ready for the completion of the social and
economic revolution that was started in the 1960's. His
vision for Barbados is that of an affluent society in which
resources are equitably distributed and citizens enjoy all
their human rights and freedoms.
Freundel Stuart is a man of the people.
He has supported several community organizations and currently
sponsors the Dayrells United Achievers Community Club and the
Notre Dame Sports Club.
Freundel has one daughter who is pursuing
studies in Sociology at the Cave Hill Campus of the University
of the West Indies. |
