And while the PUP is entering its general election campaign season, the UDP has finished that phase and is now preparing for its municipal conventions. The biggest name in all this has been rising political star Darrell Bradley. He didn't in his name for Mayor at the party's deadline on March 28th , and since then he's been vacillating on his decision on whether or not he'll run. Today, this would be Prince of Denmark told us about his dilemma:
Mayor Darrell Bradley
"I think that in terms of running for mayor in office again, it's an easy decision for me, I have other commitments in terms of my family commitments, I have other commitments of my professional development as an attorney, I have other views in terms of other political office that I am thinking about, so it's not an easy decision for me. Of course I can't not make a decision very long into the future, it's something that I am seriously reflecting on, It's something that I am consulting people on. It's a thing that I want to go forward in politics but there are other considerations that I have to give before making a final decision."
Jules Vasquez
"But the deadline has passed going on two weeks now."
Mayor Darrell Bradley
"I mean, in respect to that deadline, it was not a willful thing in terms of my not submitting in the application."
Jules Vasquez
"However, it's not unreasonable for your party to conclude that "bwoy, he is too important for us" we have to move on."
Mayor Darrell Bradley
"But then that fine. That's a decision that I don't make and then that's fine."
And while the party may have moved on - Bradley says he should have some clarity on his political future in a week. We take him at his word, but let's just say if he doesn't - we won't be surprised.
