Bermuda Premier David Burt faces the first major challenge to his leadership of the British island territory's ruling center-left Progressive Labour Party (PLP) after his former finance minister said he would contest the role.
Curtis Dickinson sent a letter to the PLP on Wednesday stating, "Earlier this morning, I advised the Party Leader of my intention to put my name forward to run for the office of Party Leader at the Annual General Conference."
The party leader will be the premier of Bermuda.
