The two contenders for leadership of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) engaged in a war of words on the airwaves yesterday over issues of fairness, transparency and personal attacks.

Less than 24 hours after each raised the political temperature at separate party meetings, both incumbent Verla De Peiza and her challenger Reverend Guy Hewitt faced off during Starcom Network’s Down To Brass Tacks radio call-in programme yesterday.

On Sunday night, De Peiza, addressing a St Joseph branch meeting at Grantley Adams Memorial School, had called on the party faithful to make up their minds if they wanted to be led by her or Hewitt.

He, in turn, cried foul at a Christ Church South branch meeting at the Deighton Griffith School, saying he and his supporters were being mistreated, and he was not being provided with certain information by the party. (BA)
