TEAMS for the two new political parties seeking to unseat the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) are starting to take shape.
The United Progressive Party (UPP) is putting its group together and soon the public will know more about its candidates.
Party leader and former minister in an Owen Arthur Barbados Labour Party administration, Lynette Eastmond, told the DAILY NATION that on Saturday, the UPP released the name of its first candidate – Craig Harewood. An investment manager by profession, he will be battling incumbent MP Dwight Sutherland in St George South.
Meanwhile, Grenville Phillips II, of Solutions Barbados, said his party had secured 16 candidates who were in place to contest the next general election, which is constitutionally due by early next year. (LK)
