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

\u201cWe confirmed last week that we will launch two candidates by the end of this month, so we actually have a launch planned for tomorrow<\/span>, which will take place at the Cobbs Cross School where we are launching the candidate for the St Paul constituency,\u201d Parker disclosed.<\/p>

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

The introduction will take the form of a town hall meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also said that the way we are doing our launch is we believe that the candidates should be launched at a constituency level, and that our launches will take place at the constituency level in a village town hall-type meeting atmosphere, and that is exactly what we will be doing,\u201d she added.<\/p>

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

The DNA will unveil its candidate for St John\u2019s City West on Monday<\/span>. Parker said based on its strategy, the party is on schedule with the launching of its candidates prior to the 2019 general elections.<\/p>\n
