HIGH ROCK

FNM: Kenneth Russell

PLP: Dr. Doswell Coakley

In the FNM’s bad year of 2002, only Hubert Ingraham and Brent Symonette (the current Leader and Deputy Leader) won a higher percentage of votes than Kenneth Russell. High Rock went PLP in 1968 when it was won by Maurice Moore, but he left the PLP with the ‘Dissident Eight’ and lost the seat in 1972 as an FNM. Running again for the FNM in 1977 and being unopposed by the BDP, Moore regained the seat and held it until he retired in 1997 when Mr. Russell took it over. I don’t think even the most optimistic PLP sees a path for Mr. Coakley to win baring some catastrophic meltdown by Mr. Russell.

Ranking: SAFE FNM
