Mark Espat & Cordel Hyde Absent from PUP Convention

But as we mentions in that story, whatever number they provide you can safely subtract two because Mark Espat and Cordel Hyde did not attend. There are rumours from within the party that they may be sanctioned or punished for not appearing, but right now that's just talk.

Secretary General Henry Charles Usher would only say that the party has asked both representatives to explain their absence.

When we reached him by phone, Mark Espat declined comment.
