Today, we remember the late Shahine Robinson, CD, MP, who died a year ago.
The memories we have of her, we will cherish forever; and her legacy lives on in those whose lives she had positively impacted and had made a difference.
#ShahineRobinson#RIP#May29
Winning what was a safe PNP seat and holding on to it for almost 20 years did not happen by chance. Shahine faced the electorates of St. Ann North East on six occasions; four general elections & two by-elections. Her formula for success was simple, she genuinely loved the people.
Today marks 20 years since Shahine Robinson was elected Member of Parliament for the constituency of St. Ann North East. In recognition of this, we take a trip down memory lane as she spoke words of wisdom and guidance.
Shahine Robinson, CD, MP.
