Rev. Guy Hewitt is not only challenging for the presidency of the Democratic Labour Party, he is also seeking a seat in the House of Assembly.
Hewitt announced on Tuesday morning that he “contacted the officers of the Christ Church East Central Branch (CCEC) of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) to explore the possibility of being their constituency representative”.
“Persons should be aware that I am a Christ Church man, having lived in Silver Sands, Maxwell, Dover, Rendezvous and now Warners.
“While I have been focusing exclusively on the presidency of the DLP, I have been persuaded by persons both from within the Party and the country at-large to apply my leadership skills and passion not only to administrative but political leadership. I believe that the constituency of Christ Church East Central would be a good fit.”
Former Minister of Education Ronald Jones held the seat for the DLP for three consecutive terms before losing to Minister in the Ministry of Finance, Ryan Straughn in 2018. Jones has since indicated his time in elective politics is up and he will not be running again. (PR/SAT)
