AFTER ASKING SEVERAL PEOPLE to put their money where their mouths were, new political party Solutions Barbados has finally been able to publicly announce nine candidates for the next general election.
Leader Grenville Phillips II said yesterday they had been in talks with a number of other people who had expressed interest in joining, but after they were told they would have contractual obligations, some of them opted out.
“We had quite a few who came and when we told them that they had to sign a contract, we had the falling away, so that’s why we had a few new ones,” he said.
Phillips told the DAILY NATION that if any of the candidates who signed on defected to another party or voted against them, they would “basically go bankrupt”. (TG)
