    Polling day closes in Barbados with a few minor hitches such as discrepancies with the voting lists and persons turning up at the wrong polling stations. Leaders of the three leading political parties are all hopeful that their respective party will emerge with the majority of votes. Voters are reminded by Anglican Bishop Rexell Gomez to elect a government that would stand up for Christian principles while radio announcers remind voters about the rules to be followed on elections day. A senior spokesperson from the Electoral and Boundaries Commission claims that voting in Barbados went off very smoothly and efficiently. The Commonwealth General Secretary, Chief Emeka Anyaoku leaves London for talks in Washington with the IMF and World Bank. He hopes to discuss matters of mutual interest. High on the agenda would be the impact of the Gulf war on Commonwealth developing countries such as relief measures and aids and pursuing debt relief measures to assist the heavily indebted countries. A recently published report states that developing countries are losing out to Eastern Europe.

    At a peace rally in Washington, the Rainbow of Coalition led by Rev. Jessie Jackson believes that the Caribbean would suffer for supporting the Bush administration on the war. A spokesman from this group believes that US aid earmarked for the Caribbean would be diverted to other areas. He thinks that the Caribbean leaders should provide leadership in a peace initiative instead of supporting the war. In Barbados, the National Development Party emerges victorious by a reduced majority. Mr. Erskine Sandiford gets a second successive term in office despite a low voter turnout amounting to approximately 60-62%. Mr. Sandiford identifies some of the priorities that he will be focusing on under his leadership. Bishop Drexel Gomez of Barbados believes that Caribbean leaders were too quick to endorse the American military effort, and thus bowing to the dictates of the United States. Barbados Political analyst, Dr. Patrick Emmanuel explains that this is first time Mr. Erskine Sandiford has led the DLP into victory and believes that this would boost Mr. Sandiford’s confidence. People will be waiting for the presentation of the 1991 estimates and budget to gain insight into the government’s economic policy.
