A public meeting will be held next week to question the candidates running for Chief Minister.

The two nominated MHKs, Dr Alex Allinson and Alfred Cannan, will answer questions at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas on Monday night.

They'll explain their policies and hopes for the future of the Island.

In the recent general election, the Isle of Man elected its 24 MHKs, who will elect the new Chief Minister on Tuesday, October 12.

The meeting, held by the Positive Action Group, starts at 7.30 pm and is free and open to all.
