Albert Division Wide Open For PUP
posted (May 14, 2014)

And one aspect of the campaign that's generating a lot of interest is the Albert constituency.  There are three candidates who have put their names in, and the conventions was to have been held this month.  But the PUP seems to be holding out for some big name to come into the picture.  We asked Fonseca who that big name is yesterday:

Jules Vasquez
"I know that Mr. Martin Galvez has put in his name as has the attorney, lawyer Sabido and we've heard a lot of chatter that it's being held off because Richard 'Dickie' Bradley will be fielded by the P.U.P. as a candidate in the Albert Division.  What is the status of that and is the party going to decide on it tomorrow?"

Hon. Francis Fonseca - Leader of the Opposition, PUP
"No, no.  We have decided even at the last meeting of the executive that we would keep the Albert Division convention open until I think it's July, I don't remember the specific date in July but we set a date in July that we will keep that convention open and that is a matter that's ongoing."
