Keeping it on the PUP, there have been persistent reports that former UDP Mayor Zenaida Moya wants to run for the PUP in the Mesopotamia division. Moya was once being groomed to take over from the UDP's Michael Finnegan in that same area. So, the idea of her now as a possible PUP challenger is kind of unexpected - but, in politics, anything is possible. We asked Deputy Leader Cordel Hyde how he feels about the prospect of his former schoolmate being a PUP candidate:...
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Would you support Miss Moya in her bid for Mesopotamia, a reported bid?"
Hon. Cordel Hyde, PUP Deputy Leader
"That's not for me to decide. Ultimately there is a process you have to go through to run for the party and I don't know that that has even been initiated. It's just a talking, but I have not heard for sure whether Miss Moya has interest at all. I've heard it from second and third hand persons. So that would be pure speculation on my part."
Reporter
"Do you believe that she should be given equal opportunity as any PUP member in good standing?"
Hon. Cordel Hyde, PUP Deputy Leader
"I don't her to be a PUP member in good standing. Maybe one day she will become, but at this point in time I don't know her to be. I don't know her to be a PUP."
The PUP's Gary Ayuso is currently the favourite for that seat.
