Smith's North at the General Election, he revealed yesterday.

And party public relations officer Graeme Outerbridge will mount another challenge in his old stomping ground of Smith's South.

Mr. Jeffers said he hoped to take advantage of a United Bermuda Party `all change' in Smith's North and the Opposition Progressive Labour Party's decision to put up a sole candidate.

The seat was held in the 1993 poll by Leonard Gibbons and Ernest DeCouto for the UBP -- but neither are standing again.

They will be replaced by Government Senator Allan Marshall and bank executive Cole Simons.

And exempted company trust manager, political newcomer Patrice Parris, will represent the PLP.

Mr. Jeffers explained: "If you look at the situation, and the party considered the whole thing, the two incumbents are not running again, so the advantage sitting MPs normally have is not there.

"The UBP have put up two political novices and the PLP have put up just one candidate.

"We felt this would be a golden opportunity for us to make an impact in that constituency.'' Mr. Jeffers announced weeks ago that his party would be playing a tactical game -- but avoiding "spoiling tactics'' he said were not popular with voters.

Mr. Outerbridge -- who has stood several times in Smith's South -- faces veteran UBP man C.V. (Jim) Woolridge and Trevor Moniz.

He will also cross swords with ex-Bermuda Regiment C.O. Lt. Col. David Burch, mounting his first assault on the House of Assembly.

Former party chairman Mr. Outerbridge took third place with 23 percent of the vote in the 1989 General Election, behind Mr. Woolridge and Anthony Correira and well ahead of fourth-placed PLP candidate Calvin Wales.

But in 1993 he slumped to fourth place behind the PLP's Clark Godwin, taking 13.5 percent of the vote compared to Dr. Godwin's 16.2 percent.

Mr. Outerbridge -- whose main concern is the environment and people left out of the Island's economic miracle -- said he was hoping to jump up the frame this time around.

He said: "Hopefully the people are starting to understand the role of the NLP in politics.

"The last election was very clear-cut and this time we're not running in any marginal seats so the `fear factor' used by the UBP last time can't be used against us as successfully as it was the last time.'' Mr. Jeffers said: "The last election was quite an interesting one -- there was certainly some polarisation among the voters at the time and he didn't do that well.

"But we hope to do much better this time. Here again, the PLP have mounted one candidate for that area and we have a real chance, if we really work at it, to win a seat.'' He added: "Today there is a high degree of political dissatisfaction throughout the Country.

"Many Bermudians are expressing their concerns about issues they feel are either not being addressed in a timely or proper manner or not being addressed at all.''
