Panel Discussion

Jamaica: Aftermath of the PNP’s Presidential Election

A new era in the People’s National Party (PNP). An opportunity to unite a political house that is considered to be divided, following what certain onlookers described as a free and fair election process. But should have it been solely the decision of the delegates or does internal party leadership require a greater canvassing of opinion? What are the reactions to the process and the result, and is there a consensus on the way forward for the 82-year-old political party?

To discuss we are joined by political commentator and U.W.I. Lecturer Dr. Canute Thompson and former PNP Member of Parliament, Journalist and Political Commentator Lloyd B Smith.
