A FORMER Barbados Labour Party (BLP) Member of Parliament says there must be unity between the candidate and the constituency branch.

Speaking on Sunday at a luncheon at Sunbury Plantation to honour his sterling contribution to the St Philip North constituency and Barbados as a whole, Rudolph “Cappy” Greenidge told the audience that a Maria Agard situation was not ideal.
