Kenrick Webster

(CNS Election): The owner of a local tour company is turning to politics and contesting the  constituency of George Town East as an independent candidate. Kenrick Webster, the owner of Webster’s Tours, one of the largest operators on Grand Cayman that gets the lion’s share of the cruise ship business, is the first candidate to declare his intentions for the district, which covers the Bobby Thompson Road area across to Old Crewe Road, which has 1271 voters, according to the latest figures from the Elections Office.

In the 2013 General Election, people who voted in the polling stations in that area veered towards the PPM, giving Kurt Tibbetts some of his best numbers and providing a solid vote for Marco Archer. But some Coalition for Cayman candidates also did very well in the area, with Roy McTaggart, who will be running on the PPM ticket this time around, getting the most votes out of all of the George Town candidates in that area of the capital.

At this point, neither the Progressives nor the Cayman Democratic party (formerly the UDP) have identified their candidates for that district but the local business man, who so far appears to be having a low-key campaign, is likely to have plenty of competition by Nomination Day.

    Mr. Webster, it’s sad that IF you’re being backed by a MD, actual doctor and his team can’t advise you of when you should use those letters with your name.

    If it’s an honourary degree, you shouldn’t be calling yourself Dr. Webster, but it does make the independent candidates sponsored by same team look pathetic from the start

    Next, what are you standing for?

    The mere fact that he is using an Honorary Phd to boost him up with voters disqualifies him from getting my vote

      couldn’t agree more… just another fake title to feed his ego and fool voters into thinking he has solutions.
