President of the People's National Party Mark Golding says the PNP is energised and stronger than ever as he today touted that his party will take control of the country's municipal corporations. 

Golding, while on a local government campaign tour in St Elizabeth South West, told party supporters that the ruling Jamaica Labour Party deserves a political beating. 

“As Peter Tosh would say, they have to get beaten,” Golding said in a jab while speaking to his supporters in Vinyard on Monday. 

“What I am seeing and feeling here in South West, St Elizabeth, and here in the Vineyard community, is that the PNP is back [more] than ever, and ready to take it to them,” the PNP president said to loud cheers.
