With the highly anticipated elections in the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) getting under way yesterday, both presidential contenders Verla De Peiza and Reverend Guy Hewitt are optimistic about their chances of leading the party for the next year.
Yesterday, both candidates were present at the DLP’s George Street, St Michael headquarters to observe the process.
De Peiza, the incumbent, told the Saturday Sun that even though she was expecting to be victorious when the results are announced tomorrow, she is prepared to accept the will of the people, even if it is not in her favour.
However, referencing her defeat of the more politically experienced George Pilgrim last year, the attorney said she had seen nothing to suggest she would not overcome her second challenge for the party leadership in as many years. (CLM)
