?Diego Martin West MP Dr Keith Rowley says he is prepared to represent his constituents if they want him to.
"I have said to my constituents I would submit my name as a nominee and they'll take it from there," he said. "I have been a nominee for many years and on this occasion it's no different. If nominations are called for, I will go to the party headquarters for screening."
Rowley was speaking to reporters after the Shouter Baptist Liberation Day celebrations held at Maloney car park, Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, yesterday. Rowley says he is a member of the party just like Manning is, and is prepared to represent his constituents with "due diligence."
