“I haven’t thought of it.”
That was the reaction of Prime Minister Freundel Stuart when he was asked yesterday about the exact date of the next general election.
He gave that response in Canada as Bajans there and elsewhere speculate about the timing of the vote.
Stuart is also sticking to a legal view that constitutionally he has a 90-day window, after the current five-year term expires in January, to ask Barbadian voters to go to the polls. Conceivably, that could put the election at mid-April, a view he expressed in New York earlier this year.
