‘MARCH ELECTION’ IF PLP WINS: EX-PM ...but by-election loss would cause ‘stench,’ says Hubert Ingraham By EARYEL BOWLEG Tribune Staff Reporter ebowleg@tribunemedia.net FORMER Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham has predicted that the Progressive Liberal Party will call an early general election if it wins today’s Golden Isles by-election, using Friday’s Free National Movement rally to raise the stakes around a vote both major parties are treating as a key political test. “They might do better next time and they got plenty time,” he said. “If
they win the election on Monday coming, they’re gonna hold an early election. By March, you'll be in the polls.

Brian Rolle is standing for the Coalition of Independents (COI), and local resident Karen Butler is the sole independent candidate. ELECTION - SEE PAGE FOUR
