PNP confident it can maintain upturn in popular support

PNP President Mark Golding
 
The People's National Party [PNP] is expressing confidence that it can maintain and extend its lead over the Jamaica Labour Party [JLP] to win the next election.
 
The poll, conducted by Don Anderson's Market Research Services Limited in mid-June, shows 30.2 per cent of respondents supporting the PNP as against 25 per cent support for the JLP.
 
PNP President Mark Golding asserted on Tuesday that the work done by the party has put it on an upward trajectory.
 
Declaring that "history is on our side," during a press conference at the party's headquarters on Tuesday, Mr Golding, adding that the PNP was being guided "by the right set of values and the right approach to governing the country."
 
These are attributes and qualities that the electorate will "increasingly see and feel that they can identify with," he promised. 
 
Nevertheless, he said he was taking nothing for granted, acknowledging that "the road to progress has been a bumpy one" for the PNP in opposition, since it lost the 2016 general election.
 
That election loss came after serving one term back in government, having returned to office at the start of 2012.
 
Against that background, he expressed confidence, but stressed that "I'm not arrogant, I'm not overly confident; I recognise that we have to continually improve..."
 
"We have to message better; we have to be more on the ground; we have to organize better," he stressed.
