Political hopeful?Edmund Hinkson has no plans of ducking out of the Barbados Labour Party’s (BLP) St James North race even if his mentor Rawle Eastmond decides he wants to get back in after all.
“I’m in the race,” Hinkson insisted in an interview with the SUNDAY SUN yesterday.
“I feel that I have as good a contribution to make as any person who has offered themselves for electoral politics.”
Hinkson – who has been endorsed by Eastmond as the man for the job if he retires – made the comment ahead of the MP’s meeting with constituents this evening.
Coming a week before the St James North nomination, the meeting will be a platform for Eastmond to discuss concerns about an allegedly padded branch list that prompted him to withdraw from the race.
