Francis Fonseca Remains P.U.P. candidate in Freetown  

On Wednesday, we asked long-standing Freetown Area Representative Francis Fonseca if he would have been open to going up against anyone in a P.U.P. convention for his seat. Now, this question comes after the party’s national executive has made its decisions, but Fonesca says he was the only applicant in Freetown.

“Was there any application to contest your seat in Freetown and as a senior sitting area representative would you have been opened to contesting someone at a convention?”

“Yeah, people were free to apply. The prime minister made that clear. Everyone was free to apply. They would have been vetted. The national campaign committee would have looked at it, made a recommendation to the national executive. In the case of Freetown, no. I was the only applicant so, but if somebody had applied that would have been fine with me.”
