The United Progressive Party (UPP) officially unveiled its Election 2026 manifesto and launched a new campaign website at midday on Friday, April 25, marking a significant milestone in the party's push ahead of the April 30 general election.
The manifesto, titled Manifesto 2026, was revealed alongside the party's new digital platform, myupp.org, which will serve as a central hub for campaign information and voter engagement.
Political Leader Jamale Pringle said the manifesto reflects direct input from the public. Despite the short window between the announcement of elections and Nomination Day, the party made a deliberate effort to consult widely with citizens across communities.
Candidates engaged residents at the grassroots level, gathering concerns and proposals that were subsequently reviewed and distilled into policy positions aimed at improving economic conditions and quality of life. "Out of these submissions, the UPP selected those that would have the most positive impact on the economy and the People's quality of life and were most achievable," the party stated.
Several of the proposed initiatives are designed to address the rising cost of living, with additional relief measures detailed in the manifesto document.
The newly launched website features information on UPP candidates, the party's history, and voter resources, including access to voter lists and guidance on the voting process.
Campaign Director Chester Hughes expressed confidence in the platform, stating that the policies are intended to "lift the People and the Country and bring the sunshine back to Government."
The launch comes as political parties intensify their campaigning in the final days before voters head to the polls on April 30.
