COME ELECTION TIME, some St Michael constituencies will have a brand new look for the Dems.
In a major shake-up on Wednesday night, the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) general council determined that new candidates were needed for the key St Michael East, St Michael South East and Bridgetown constituencies.
That decision by the party’s highest ranking body has led to former Members of Parliament Kenny Best and Patrick Todd, along with another losing 2013 candidate Patrick Tannis, being replaced.
When contacted yesterday, general secretary of the party, George Pilgrim, confirmed the new picks.
In a press statement, he said that for the past three years the party had involved itself in robust analysis, and after 82-plus meetings over the period, had decided on the changes. (RA)
