Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell has hinted that\u00a0the date for the general election could be announced before the end of the month.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mitchell made\u00a0his greatest hint to date late Sunday, at a\u00a0rally to endorse Alvin Dabreo as the governing New National Party\u2019s (NNP) \u00a0representative in the St. John\u2019s\u00a0 constituency.<\/p>\n

According to Mitchell,\u00a0the announcement of a date for the general election could take place at a meeting scheduled to be held in his constituency of St George North West on January 28.<\/sup><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cOn the 27th<\/sup>\u00a0of January before my endorsement, I am putting a challenge out to Nazim Burke, I want us to go in Queen\u2019s Park for a 100 yards dash,\u201d he said to the thousands of supporters after he called on opponents to stop the rumours stating that his health has been compromised.<\/p>\n

He later said a public meeting will not be held on January 27 \u2013 but on the following day, Sunday,\u00a0January\u00a028.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He told supporters that the first step towards announcing the date is the dissolution of Parliament by Governor General Dame Cecile LaGrenade.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret, very soon the Governor General will be dissolving the Parliament and the country will be run by the cabinet of ministers but no parliamentarians.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mitchell added that the NNP will be having a series of meetings to publicly endorse the eight remaining candidates and the final meeting of this nature will be held in his constituency.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He said that during the final meeting to endorse the last three remaining candidates\u00a0 \u2013 including himself, he \u201cwill most likely make the big announcement\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe going Beausejour and I will most likely have a big announcement when we get to Beausejour,\u201d he told the jubilant crowd.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile at a meeting of the main opposition National Democratic Congress that was held in the northern parish of St Patrick, political leader Nazim Burke on hearing of Mitchell\u2019s promise to make the \u201cbig announcement\u201d, told his supporters that the upcoming general election\u00a0will be a referendum on\u00a0his legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can tell you with absolute certainty that within the next 21 days the announcement will be called, it will be the single most important decision in your lifetime. This election will be a referendum on Dr Mitchell,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A general election is constitutionally due here by mid-year.<\/p>\n
