PLP Garden Hills election candidate Dr Kendal VO Major was yesterday recuperating in hospital after surgery. His family yesterday told The Tribune that Dr Major was faced with a medical issue on March 30, which meant he had to be in hospital. After an initial assessment, it was determined that a surgical procedure was necessary, according to a statement released by Monique Major, his wife. Dr Major, pictured, underwent successful surgery on March 31, and was yesterday recuperating in hospital. He was expected to make a full recovery and it was not anticipated that the medical procedure would negatively impact on his candidacy.
