Shaina M. Smith mum on political future
Neither would she comment on her political future, hinting only that her turn was coming while speaking at a recent public event.
When approached for an interview at the conclusion of an event recently, Smith declined to comment saying that the elections were over and she preferred not to go back into that period nor speak about her political future.
This came after days of unsuccessfully attempting to contact Ms Smith by phone after she told this news site that she would speak to us on a later occasion.
However, it appears that this election, even though dismal for Smith, is not the end of the political road for her.
While at the victory bash for NDP Second District candidate Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull two weeks ago, she thanked the persons who supported her and said that until it is her “turn,” she would be supportive of those like Mitch and all the others who won seats in the House of Assembly.
Smith seen as flip-flopper
Smith has been seen as a flip-flopper when only in January this year she insisted that she was not running with the NDP but rather that her party the People’s Patriotic Alliance (PPA) was in the process of putting together a team to contest the elections.
However, a few months later in April a press release came out from a group supporting her saying that she was running in the First District under the NDP ticket.
When quizzed about allegations that she has been approached by the NDP to run in the first district, she neither confirmed nor denied that she was approached, but responded, “I am with the PPA. How can I run on two slates?”
Smith received 277 votes (28%) in the 2015 general elections as against 652 votes (65%) by Hon Andrew A. Fahie who retained his seat.
The other candidate in the race, Preston P. Stoutt, received 68 votes (7%).
