While Councillor Audrey Smith-Facey, who is campaigning under the hashtag #OurAudrey, was expected to be the main contender, the waters were muddied considerably when a video was posted of Simpson Miller endorsing former Kingston mayor, Councillor Angela Brown-Burke, to succeed her. 
Wakati Diwani Audrey Smith-Facey, ambaye anafanya kampeni kwa hashtagi #AudreyWetu, alitarajiwa kuwa ndiye mpinzani mkuu, maji yalivurugwa mno pale video ya Simpson Miller akimuidhinisha Meya wa zamani wa Kingston, Diwani Angela Brown-Burke, kuwa mrithi wake.
