Breaking News: Davida Morris chosen to fight Grant Gibbons in Paget East

PLP candidate Senator Davida Morris speaks to the press while Premier Dr. Ewart Brown looks on behind.

Young Senator Davida Morris was today unveiled as one of three Progressive Labour Party candidates in traditional United Bermuda Party strong-hold constituencies.

Sen. Morris, 26, is to battle for the Constituency 22 seat in Paget East, where she will be up against former Opposition Leader Grant Gibbons.

It comes less than a year after she burst onto the political scene when Premier Ewart Brown appointed her as one of Bermuda’s youngest ever Senators shortly after ousting former Premier Alex Scott.

At an unveiling ceremony at the Botanical Gardens, Dr. Brown’s race relations consultant Rolfe Commissiong was announced as the PLP’s candidate for Constituency 23 in Paget West, where he faces the tough task of ousting Deputy Leader of the Opposition Patricia Gordon-Pamplin.

PLP Secretary General Linda Merritt was put forward to fight the seat for Constituency 12 Devonshire South Central. She will be up against the UBP’s House Leader John Barritt.
