PLP: Neville Wisdom
FNM: Hubert Minnis
This seat is more of old Delaporte than anything else as well as some of Adelaide. Delapore should have been an FNM seat - the PLP won it in '77 only because of the FNM/BDP spilt. Kendal Isaacs then captured if for the FNM and held it until Floyd Watkins took over in '92. I think Watkins was a lousy MP and he should have been switched out in '02 - Mr. Ingraham felt the same way but Mr. Watkins appealed to the candidates committe and went on about how he was a longtime FNM, blah, blah blah. That means nothing unless you are prepared to work to win and hold a seat and he clearly wasn't. He deserved to lose and I wasn't sorry that he did.
But that means that Mr. Wisdom is sitting in enemy territory and he has not exactly distinguished himself with his record. The mix-up with the Junkanoo bleachers probably defined him in a lot of people's minds. He'd have had to have been nearly perfect to convince the people in this area to re-elect him and he has not been. Dr. Minnis should dislodge him from this seat quite handily.
Ranking: LIKELY FNM
