On Sunday night, De Peiza, addressing a St Joseph branch meeting at Grantley Adams Memorial School, had called on the party faithful to make up their minds if they wanted to be led by her or Hewitt.

He, in turn, cried foul at a Christ Church South branch meeting at the Deighton Griffith School, saying he and his supporters were being mistreated, and he was not being provided with certain information by the party. (BA)
