Hon. Francis Outlines New Campaign Configuration
posted (May 14, 2014)

As we reported a few weeks ago, the PUP is re-tooling its national campaign machinery.  It's turning the four regions of the country into a committee chaired by a national coordinator Godfrey Smith – who's been brought back into the PUP fold for this special mission.  No press release was sent, nor any public announcement made, so we asked Fonseca about it yesterday:

Hon. Francis Fonseca - Leader of the Opposition, PUP
"We're putting together a national campaign committee. We're activating a national campaign committee because we've always had a campaign committee. So, we're activating that committee, and we've asked Godfrey Smith to chair that committee. As you know, the party has regional campaign managers for each of the regions of the country. So, they form a part of the core executive of that campaign committee, and then they will then reach out and include other persons who will form a part of that wider national campaign committee. By the way, I don't know, you reported that Mr. Ralph Fonseca - quite irresponsibly of you - that this man had somehow been brought back to - or was holding some post. The man is a businessman. He's working - there is absolutely no truth to that; I don't know where you got that. He has not been given any post official or unofficial.

Jules Vasquez
"So he will not be your special advisor."

Hon. Francis Fonseca
"He is not."
