Since the unfortunate death of Minister Nelson bascome, this seat has been vacant however on Aug 27th the voters will have their choice as to his replacement. Who will this be?
This seat has been a PLP stronghold since party politics. In the last 2 elections, Nelson bascome won the vote of 93% and 87% of the electorate. Amazing statistics.

Minister Bascome was from that community, of that community, and gave back to that community. His shoes are mighty big, and whoever tries to fill them will need to come with the similar goods.

It will be interesting to see who the UBP fields - will they field a sacrificial lamb or will they mount a genuine campaign as if they believe they can up-end the PLP.

Realistically, i dont think anyone in Bermuda expects the UBP to win this seat, but it is my belief that the PLP need to field a decent candidate and not take the voters of this district for granted.

Once the candidates are selected and announced, then we can perhaps go into more of a discussion.
