As the general election deadline gets closer, neither of the two main political parties are saying when they will be rolling out their remaining candidates.Six candidates remain to be announced for the Opposition One Bermuda Alliance — for districts one, 14, 20, 29, 32, and 34 — should it field a full slate of 36 candidates.Meanwhile the ruling Progressive Labour Party has only to roll out Premier Paula Cox — who can be safely assumed to run in her current district 14 — and its candidate for district 12 who will take on OBA Leader Craig Cannonier.OBA chairman Thad Hollis insisted yesterday that the party had more people willing to run than the number of vacancies.The party “will continue making candidate decisions based on providing constituents with the best representation”, Mr Hollis said.He added that the OBA “will be ready whenever the (election) call is made” and questioned whether the Government was ready to call an election.“We would just like to add that if the PLP Government was ready to call an election it would have done so by now.“We understand why the election has not been called — in the face of record unemployment, credit downgrades, business closures, public service cutbacks and breakdowns and rising deficits and debt. So the question of election readiness really needs to be put to the Government. Don’t you think? We’re ready.”The PLP issued a statement which praised its candidates as a “strong team that combines youth and energy with wisdom and experience.”“They’re a team of leaders that are standing strong for Bermudians during these tough economic times.“They’re a team that is committed to protecting investments in job creating and saving infrastructure projects and to the vital social safety net that we’ve built which includes the landmark DayCare and FutureCare programmes that are helping thousands of Bermudians in these tough times.’The statement added: “We’ll let you guess who our candidate is in constituency 14 and we look forward to announcing our candidate who will wrestle [constituency] 12 away from a silent OBA politician who has offered no ideas and no vision for the country.“We’re confident that Bermudians in 12 and across the Island know that in these tough economic times, we need effective leaders who will stand strong for all Bermudians in these tough economic times.“We look forward to rolling out our candidates in 12 and 14.”Of the six spots yet to be filled by the OBA, district one, or St George’s North, is considered the most marginal. Incumbent Dame Jennifer Smith held onto the seat in 2007 by 25 votes, and St George’s Mayor Kenneth Bascome is said to be considering a run there as an independent.
