Public sector workers are being called upon to give their support to the Opposition People's National Party (PNP) in the upcoming local government election.

“I want to make a special appeal to the teachers of this country and South West [St Elizabeth], the nurses and the policemen, give the People's National Party a chance to make things right,” said Miranda Wellington, the PNP parliamentary aspirant for South West St Elizabeth during a mass meeting in Black River at the end of a campaign tour of the constituency by party leader Mark Golding on Monday night.

“I know If you allow us to represent you in the local government, without a shadow of a doubt I will be your next member of parliament,” she told PNP supporters.

Meanwhile, Golding pressed home the importance of his party winning the election in South West St Elizabeth. 

According to the PNP president, God has blessed his party with four good councillor candidates and an excellent MP candidate who will secure victory in the elections ahead. 

"It is so timely, because South West [St Elizabeth] is a critical constituency to the fortunes of any government and we need South West in the column of the People's National Party, whether it be at the local, which is the 26, [February] and the general, whenever that is ...it will be soon because we are in the fourth year of the second term if this government, ' Golding stated.
