(Jamaica Gleaner) People’s National Party (PNP) President Mark Golding says he does not harbour any grudges or ill-will arising from the recent en bloc resignations of the party’s vice presidents and chairman.
Vice presidents Damion Crawford, Dr Wykeham McNeill, Mikael Phillips, and Chairman Phillip Paulwell resigned with immediate effect on July 16.
In a joint resignation statement, they said the resignations were done to “avoid a further widening of the internal rift” and “another divisive internal election”, but also zoned in on what appears to be a lack of effort by the leadership to embrace party unity and also intimating that old wounds from the last leadership race have not yet healed.
Golding says he wants the party to be a strong and cohesive team, all working towards the common purpose of making the PNP strong and attractive to Jamaicans.
