REVEREND PATRICK TANNIS heard on the radio like the rest of Barbados that he will not be the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) candidate for St Michael South East in the next general election.
He told the DAILY NATION yesterday evening that the hierarchy of the party had not contacted him to inform him about the decision.
“I heard on the radio and people told me my name was called and I was no longer the candidate. I am fine; there are others who will work with me,” he said. “The people of Barbados did not reject me.”
The banker, who lost by a mere 12 votes to the Barbados Labour Party’s Santia Bradshaw at his first try at electoral politics in 2013, said he was proud of his performance and what he had achieved in the constituency.
