Modest Mark only wants a couple of seats
Watch out for Mark Benschop who has just breezed in from New York with an apparently endless supply of buttons in his pockets promoting his Independent Party.
He also has a letter in today’s SN where he says, “not being from a connected family, or having made money in the recent bonanzas, the Independent Party must and will build…So, in 2015 the Independent Party will contest the upcoming elections – not for the presidency, but rather to secure a few seats in Parliament.” He told The Mosquito he is all set for Nominations Day and will be rolling out his female heavy slate shortly.
For sure Mark has his followers. Could it be the balance of power in Parliament might be held by the former treason accused? Meanwhile we hear he is miffed the letter was not carried in the KN. Apparently Adam wants him to join the APNU-AFC alliance so didn’t give him any space.
