After weeks of talks on the road that the Hon. Clarence Selver was left off the party ticket, the Leader of the PDM has issued a statement regarding the appointed member.
The statement from the Leader below.
The PDM wishes to clarify its position regarding Hon Clarence Selver. Hon Selver has served the PDM over 30 years in various positions. Within the past few weeks, he has informed the Party of his intention to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming elections and also that he will no longer be a part of the PDM Party. He has since announced his candidacy publicly.
Hon Selver is currently serving as the Opposition’s Appointed Member in the House of Assembly and as an appointed member to the Appropriations and Expenditure Committees. All appointments are by the hand of the Leader of the Opposition.
We understand the Constitution of this country and appreciate that all appointments are by way of consultation with the Leader of the Opposition. However the PDM believes that it is a matter for Hon Selver as to whether he chooses to continue to serve on a PDM issued Platform.
We wish to publicly thank him for his service over the years and we will be happy to welcome him back if he chooses to return.
