THE Progressive Party will not contest the April 28 general election.

Party leader Nikoli Edwards made the announcement in a statement on March 19. He said electoral success hinged heavily on financial resources and that the playing field was not level in this regard.

Edwards referred to the People (Amendment) Bill 2020, which deals with campaign finance legislation, being stalled before a joint select committee (JSC) in Parliament since 2020.
