Consultants have pitched their services to the One Bermuda Alliance amid complaints within the party that they lack a coherent strategy.

According to party sources, the meeting was called for Saturday at the OBA’s headquarters on Reid Street.

The meeting, at which political consultants met with party members, has been planned for some time: OBA MPs were said to have been promised that a new party consultant would be in place by the end of 2015. The ruling party’s significant defeat in the February 4 by-election for Devonshire North Central prompted calls from within the OBA for a reappraisal of its stance.

In an internal communication shared with this newspaper, the OBA was criticised as seemingly aloof from the concerns of average Bermudians.

The announcement of the controversial Pathways to Status immigration initiative on the day after the by-election also drew the ire of some party members.
