Opposition Leader Mark Golding has disclosed that he plans to continue leading the party into the next general election.
The People's National Party suffered defeat in the September 2025 General Election, winning 28 seats to the Jamaica Labour Party's 35.
Despite its defeat, the PNP doubled the number of seats from its previous loss in 2020 when the party won a mere 14
seats.
"We didn't quite make it in September. There are reasons why that didn't happen in a few seats, but we doubled the number of seats that we had before. We got 100,000 more votes than we got the previous time," noted the PNP president.
Mr. Golding said he has the confidence of members of the People's National Party to continue his leadership.
"As long as God is on my side and I have life and blowing breath, yes, I feel that I have a role to play, I feel I have the capacity to do it, and the party is behind me, and the people I think have shown that they have confidence in what we can deliver," he maintained, insisting he did not anticipate a challenge from members of his party.
"If there was a vacancy, then...people might put their hat in the ring, but there's no vacancy. And I don't anticipate anybody's going to challenge me if I am in the chair," said Mr. Golding, who was speaking Wednesday night on TVJ's All Angles.
