The first of many political skirmishes to mark the start of the island`s silly season has begun with the announcement of an independent candidate to contest the Anse-La-Raye/Canaries seat.
The political aspirant says that he was forced to go the independent route since the opposition United Workers Party , on which ticket he was hoping to do battle ,thwarted his efforts by being misled into believing that he stood a chance to do so.
Mr Elwin St Rose claims that he was encouraged to meet certain conditions in order to qualify for the party`s candidacy despite it already having chosen someone to do battle on its behalf.
As Zane Romulus reports , the retired US military personnel did not conceal his disappointment Wednesday evening during an appearance on the DBS programe – NewsmakerLive.
