St Vincent opposition political activist and radio personality Colin Graham—
KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – A St Vincent opposition political activist and radio personality was rushed to hospital on Monday after he fell ill and collapsed while conducting his radio program.
Colin Graham was reportedly hosting the opposition New Democratic Party’s (NDP) “New Times” program on NICE Radio when he collapsed in the studio, Douglas De Freitas, the station’s manager told listeners.
The programme, broadcast on weekdays, will be suspended until Tuesday.
A worker at the station found Graham in the studio and her screams in reaction were broadcasted live as she appealed for help for the broadcaster.
“It is still very concerning to all of us who were listening to the program this morning, as I was, for his family and I believe for all the people in St Vincent and the Grenadines, who would be very concerned and worried this morning,” NDP President and Opposition Leader Godwin Friday said.
“We got to the studio shortly after. He was sitting up. The party’s general secretary has taken him to the hospital,” Friday said, asking listeners to keep Graham in their prayers.
“We are still very concerned; very worried. We are all very concerned for him. It is good to know that he was speaking,” Friday said.
“Let’s hope and pray that this is something that will be resolved soon and that Colin will be back as soon as possible,” added Friday.
He also said that the most important thing now is for Graham to be checked out by medical staff at the hospital.
Graham has become the second “New Times” host to fall ill live on radio.
