Fifteen People's National Party (PNP) Members of Parliament have written to party president Dr. Peter Phillips complaining of a lack of meetings since his illness and seeking talks to discuss the party's future.
News came last month that Dr. Phillips has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.
In the May 28 letter, a copy of which has been obtained by Radio Jamaica News, the MP's said they want Dr. Phillips to meet with the Parliamentary Group before Monday to discuss matters relating to the future of the party.
The signatories include Mark Golding, Robert Pickersgill, Angella Brown-Burke, Dayton Campbell, Luther Buchanan and Ian Hayles.
The MP's were supporters of Peter Bunting, who unsuccessfully challenged Dr. Phillips for the PNP presidency last year.
When Radio Jamaica News contacted Dr. Phillips, he confirmed receiving the letter from the MPs.
In a letter to Mr. Bunting Friday, the PNP president said COVID-19 restrictions have prevented meetings being held.
Dr. Philllips said he will ask the General Secretary to contact Mr. Bunting to convene an early meeting of the Parliamentary Group.
