PNP to unveil plans for annual conference

The People’s National Party (PNP) is expected today to unveil plans for its 74th Annual Conference which is being held this weekend.

The PNP’s annual conference begins on Saturday with a private session at Jamaica College in St. Andrew, followed by the public session on Sunday at the National Arena.

Among other things, the PNP will use the conference to highlight what it sees as the shortcomings of the Jamaica Labour Party administration it replaced.

This is despite suggestions by Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Audley Shaw that such a move would be aimed at distracting Jamaicans from the Portia-Simpson Miller-led administration’s non-performance.

However, PNP general secretary, Peter Bunting argued that there is no way the party’s leadership could address the country this weekend, without pointing to the state of affairs when it took office.
