There is no doubt in the mind of People’s National Party (PNP) standard-bearer Dr Dayton Campbell that pulling out the voters in the upcoming general election will be difficult, but he believes he has the organisational machinery in place to trounce Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) rival Krystal Lee.
JLP councillor for the Brown’s Town division, Kim Brown-Lawrence, was in a section of the division called Woodlands, and Campbell had been conducting training of his election-day workers.
“I can say to you in no uncertain terms that of the persons that have been added to the list in the last election, we have the overwhelming majority because I have a strategic target with the enumeration programme,” a confident Campbell told The Gleaner outside of his office.
The JLP standard-bearer, who sits in the St Mary Municipal Corporation for the Retreat division, told The Gleaner that the ground was shifting from under the feet of Campbell, accusing him of being busy building a national profile while the constituency was being neglected.
Currently, the PNP has no council seat in North West St Ann, having lost all four divisions in the last local government elections.
