Under-pressure People’s National Party (PNP) President Dr Peter Phillips says he is not worried about threats to his leadership of the Opposition ahead of today’s meeting with his parliamentary caucus.
Fifteen of the 29 opposition members of parliament (MPs) demanded the meeting in a letter to Phillips, which subsequently caused disquiet in the party.
Phillips says he is looking forward to a positive outcome from the meeting and declared that his party would defeat the Jamaica Labour Party in the next general election.
At least one of the MPs who demanded today’s meeting told The Gleaner that Phillips would not be allowed to gloss over the “serious issues” that have been raised.
When we know, we will do what we have to do,” Phillips told The Gleaner last Monday night at the Mico University College, where the party was having an executive meeting, shrouded in controversy, over the letter.
