Calling for Mara

Date:

Share post:

HOURS AFTER the writ was issued announcing the St John by-election on January 20, many people in St John were still callingĀ  for Mara Thompson, the wife of late Prime Minister David Thompson to represent them.
This sentiment was so strong, many of them said they would abstain from voting altogether unless she did so.
