PLP Leadership Race Hits Court | Bermuda News

Curtis Dickinson, a top PLP leadership contender, has thrown down the legal gauntlet by rushing to the Supreme Court to halt a party rule change that could reshape the upcoming leadership race — and by extension, Bermuda’s next Premier. The contested rule, approved by the Central Committee in August, restricts delegate eligibility to members who joined more than a year ago, potentially sidelining key players like Dickinson. While the PLP remains silent — citing court decorum — the stakes couldn’t be higher: with David Burt stepping aside, this is a winner-takes-all battle between Dickinson and Jason Hayward. The court’s decision on interim relief could either validate the party’s plan or force a major rewrite of the election rules — making this not just a legal showdown, but a pivotal moment for Bermuda’s political future.
