FROM AS EARLY AS 4 P.M., several of Barbados Labour Party (BLP) members and supporters gathered outside the party’s Roebuck Street headquarters as the hour to decide Dr Maria Agard’s fate approached.
The embattled Member of Parliament was also early, standing outside attorney-at-law Hal Gollop’s office awaiting his arrival.
He turned up about five minutes after and she went into his office for a meeting along with her constituency assistant Linda Freeman, and attorney and former BLP St Philip West representative Lynette Eastmond.
Ten minutes later the trio emerged and made their way across the street to BLP headquarters.
“I feel good,” Agard said when asked how she felt going into the meeting. Questioned about his representation of Agard and his expectations of the meeting, Gollop, a Bee turned Dem said: “I am here; we are playing things by ear.”
The division among the party supporters was evident as Agard was cheered by a few supporters dressed in black said to be from the St Joseph constituency.
Members of the Christ Church West constituency who made up the majority of persons present remained quiet as he made her way through the crowd.
However, they cheered loudly for Party Mia Mottley who arrived shortly after at 5.55 p.m., briefly mobbing her as she exited her vehicle. (MB)
