Smith told The Gleaner/Power 106 News Centre yesterday that he received the threats by telephone last week.
He says he believes the threats were linked to the internal vote he lost yesterday in his Central St James constituency.
Meanwhile, general secretary of the People's National Party, Paul Burke, says about three months ago, Smith had expressed concerns about his safety.
