This occasion which was characterised by much fanfare was witnessed by over two hundred supporters and sympathisers of the NPP in the constituency as they turned up in their numbers to support Sheila in filing her nomination. Sheila Bartels is contesting to be the NPP parliamentary candidate in the 2020 general elections.
The filing which was preceded by a mini float was given a boost by the presence of known party stalwarts and dignitaries such as Hon.

Her message which was one of unity, promised to bring an end to the factionalism and despondency which had become the new normal for the constituency party.
