PNP promises to share plans in due time, says party base energised

 

People's National Party General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell says the parliamentary opposition will be rolling out its ideas for running the country in the coming weeks.

 

Speaking on Sunday evening at a party meeting in Portmore, St. Catherine, Dr. Campbell said the party has been strategic in communicating its plans, should it form the next government.

 

"We have re-energised the base of this party. Them last poll weh dem put out seh that the PNP is five points ahead. That is because the base of this party has been re-energised. And they want us now to tell them what we're going to do. And we're going to tell them, but in everything you do, you must use wisdom. And so in putting out the ideas, we have to time when we put out the ideas because we nah give Labourite nuh idea fi keep we inna opposition," he suggested. 

 

"We are going to give the ideas when you have a choice to make between us and them. So you can decide that this is the party that will move the country forward and make your lives better. So tell them they must wait," continued the PNP general secretary.

 

The latest RJRGLEANER commissioned Don Anderson poll shows the JLP trailing the opposition People's National Party.

 

But the poll, conducted late January to mid February, showed a tightening of the race since the September 2024 survey.

 

Some 35.4 per cent of the registered electorate say they would vote for the PNP if the general parliamentary election was called now, compared with 30.7 per cent who say they would vote for the JLP.

 

In the September poll, 39.3 per cent of voters said they would choose the PNP, compared with 30.2 per cent for the JLP.
