With loyalists of People’s National Party (PNP) President Dr Peter Phillips now on edge and preparing for another round of internal schism, two signatories of a controversial letter are insisting that the correspondence is not a launching pad for Phillips’ ouster.
On Monday night, the executive of the PNP held a meeting at The Mico University College where Phillips asserted that the party would not be divided under his leadership.
But St Ann North West Member of Parliament Dr Dayton Campbell, the attack dog of the failed Peter Bunting challenge to Phillips’ leadership, said that the 15 signatories were seeking answers on how the party would remain viable, especially as national polls draw near.
“I believe I have a right to put my signature with any group of PNP supporters or members to any letter which is a decent letter to the president of the People’s National Party,” Buchanan, member of parliament for Westmoreland Eastern, said.
Campbell, who has been tasked by Phillips to craft the party’s election manifesto, said that the planned meeting was not adversarial.
