PNP says it wants Holness’s seat
THE ruling People’s National Party (PNP) says it has stepped up its aggressive campaign to wrestle the constituency of St Andrew West Central from Leader of the Opposition Andrew Holnesss in the February 25 election. Delano Franklyn, campaign spokesperson of PNP, said earlier this week that the party has set its sights on the constituency of Holness as it strongly believed that it has a real chance of securing victory in the area.
“The primary objective is to ensure that we retain all 42 seats and to win others where we can and one of those that we are focusing on as best as we can because we believe that we have a real chance in that particular constituency is the one where the incumbent is currently the leader of the Opposition.
“So the leader of the Opposition can take the risk of being up and down all over the country and leave his yard exposed we will be doing every thing that we can to bring that constituency into the willing column of the PNP,” Franklyn told a press conference at the PNP headquarters in Kingston. He also addressed the 10-point plan outlined by the JLP. — Kimmo Matthews
