Barrow: buh-bye Bradley
posted (April 25, 2014)
Darrell Bradley has turned indecision into an art with his flip flopping on whether he'll run for mayor again. But, the deadline has long passed - 4 weeks ago, actually, and though Bradley would be considered a prohibitive favourite to be re-elected as mayor, the PM said today, that ship has sailed:

Jules Vasquez
"Has the ship sailed as regards Mayor Bradley running again for mayor? Has the party now moved on?"

Prime Minister Dean Barrow
"In my view absolutely. The deadline has passed and there will be no reopening of the deadline…that's out of the question. The only possibility that I can see in which that Mayor could run again is if those that put in their names within the deadline for some reason decided to withdraw their names and then that would throw the thing wide open."

Reporter
"Sir, do you believe it's a loss at the municipal level?"

Prime Minister Dean Barrow
"That's a funny question. I believe that Bradley did a magnificent job, but I believe that we can in fact select a new candidate for Mayor who can do an equally good job. It's a pity that the Mayor did not put in his name. I still am not sure whether it is because he honestly did not want to stand for re-election or whether there is more to it than that. I will yield to no man in my admiration for his accomplishments, but as one television station said, you never know from one day to the next exactly what the position is. I leave it at that."
