Belair:--- Leader of the National Alliance William Marlin at a general meeting held at the Belair community center unleashed the 23 candidates that will be contesting the September 17th election under the banner of the National Alliance.The meeting which was supposed begin at 7:30pm had to be delayed until after 9pm because the National Alliance had too many persons that were interested to be a candidate. Marlin said political parties have to submit a list of 23 candidates and his party had 28 persons that wanted to contest the election. He said while the first 15 seats were secured he had to finalize the selection of the last eight persons which took the extra time.
