The People’s National Party (PNP) has acknowledged the resignations of three of its Councillors in western Westmoreland and wishes them “the best.”

Following news of the resignation of councillors Ian Myles, Lawton McKenzie, and Garfield James from the PNP, General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell has extended his gratitude to the councillors for their service.

The General Secretary affirms that the PNP remains steadfast in its commitment to its democratic traditions and is focused on moving forward with the organising of Westmoreland Western in accordance with the will of the people.

He said “Western Westmoreland recently participated in a democratic exercise to select its MP candidate. These three councillors were unsuccessful in their campaign for Mr. Garfield James to be the candidate. The delegates of the Party and the citizens of the constituency have spoken, and the Party is moving forward in favour of democracy and the people’s will.”

Dr. Campbell added that the PNP has full confidence in the strength and resilience of the Western Westmoreland constituency organisation to carry forward the people’s business.

The Party he says “recognises the importance of a vibrant and dedicated team that will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of the constituents. Already, the Little London division has elected its new Divisional Chairman, and both the Sheffield and Grange Hill Divisions will follow suit at their slated conferences later this month.”

Meanwhile, the PNP says it remains dedicated to addressing the needs and concerns of the constituents.
