The much-anticipated rollout of the Free National Movement candidates for the upcoming elections was lacklustre, to put it mildly. The unorganised event speaks to just how disjointed the party really is. Pintard, in his desperation, attempted to energise his party after seeing how powerful the PLP looked on Monday.
The FNM candidates, like meteorites, failed to ignite the excitement that could rally the troops. This lack of buzz was evident in the many social media comments, including some from FNM members, expressing their disappointment and embarrassment.
There were murmurings that Hubert Ingraham applied pressure on who they should have selected. Some experienced the ratification process not being the same across the board. They came from Ingraham’s interference, and Michael Pintard’s lack of courage, which caused selections scrutinised may not have passed the smell test.
Regrettably, the FNM remains in flux, failing to appeal to the public. This lack of public appeal is the party’s Achilles heel, a problem it seems unable to overcome.
The mystery surrounding Darren Henfield’s sudden decision to withdraw from running in Abaco is a puzzle. What could have prompted this abrupt change? Only the people of Abaco hold the key to this enigma.
The rumours are that Ingraham has rejected Shanendon Cartwright and will not be running. Is this true, or is this coming from the Pintard camp because they fear Cartwright’s popularity over his?
It’s sad that Ingraham’s propensity to be seen and heard, even after securing a very wealthy and comfortable life, brings out the true meaning of narcissism, which reminds me of the late Isaac Hayes’ “Never Could Say Goodbye.”
