Political pundits have weighed in and have given their take on the recent challenge from Rev. Guy Hewitt to Democratic Labour Party (DLP) president Verla DePeiza for party leadership.When questioned two of the island’s political scientists have contended that they don’t see Rev. Hewitt as a real threat to DePeiza. Since then news coming from the DLP associations in the diaspora suggests they have sided with the present leader while Rev. Hewitt has said he has a strong party backing from those who believe the DLP lacks proper leadership at this time.But no matter what the experts say, those overseas or domestic onlookers, the fate of the party’s leadership lies with those paid-up members of the party who will vote come August when the Annual Conference is held.
