Michael Pintard was on a path to dismantle the Free National Movement. The recent introduction of 17 seemingly inexperienced candidates made things worse. The subsequent uproar from loyal supporters following the decision to remove the popular Renward Wells is clear evidence of trouble within the party.
Information placed in the Herald’s trash bins signifies that another political assassination attempt is in the making. The multi-complexing manoeuvre between Pintard and Hubert Ingraham has revealed that popular Deputy Leader Shanenondon Cartwright is next on the chopping block.
This calculated move, designed to secure Duane Sands as the new constituency representative, could have profound implications for the FNM. The party believes the remnants of Killarney, a historically strong FNM constituency, will be the new battleground.
Pintard is now loyal to Ingraham, so Cartwright finds himself between a rock and a very hard place.
Council members are livid and plan to go public with the whole scheme of Ingraham to dismantle the party, hoping that only Sands will be left to assume the leadership automatically. Ingraham can now lead the party from the backseat. After all, Sands cannot excite a mosquito.
The Herald has also received information from a reliable source that scores of FNM supporters have already expressed profound objections to the party’s direction and are considering staying home. This potential decline could pave the way for a COI opposition, which should concern all FNM supporters.
