Because time is short and money is low, the party is inclined to select a candidate rather than go through a convention. And sources suggest the party is leaning towards the attorney Michel Chebat over businessman Richard Harrison.

And it seems Harrisson has gotten wind of the party's plan to select rather than elect. He posted this on his facebook page this morning, QUOTE: "they come with their bags full of shillings from the puppet masters…and no interest nor plans to involve the people and represent their best interest…" That's an oblique reference to his own party where the term "puppet masters" was famously used by former representative Mark Espat to refer to financier Michael Ashcroft.

And in another post, he spells out democracy, and adds that quote, "it is the given right for every registered voter to be able to choose a representative…."

So clearly Harrison is pushing hard for a convention - while prevailing wisdom suggests the PUP Executive will vote instead for a candidate to be selected.

But, no decision has been formally made so we wait for the final word from tomorrow's executive meeting.
