Dear Editor,

The People’s National Party (PNP) is regarded as an illustrious political organisation which has played a pivotal role in unearthing individuals who have left us proud in the corridors of international prowess with inestimable achievement.

Formed in 1938 during the time of disagreements between the ruled and rulers about rights, freedoms and privileges under post-colonialism, professionals were engaged in the two world wars and were determined to ensure that post-colonial changes would put power in the hands of those from below.

The emergence of Michael Norman Manley on the political stage gave the opportunity for many to take effective form in demonstrating what is really meant by sticking to the principles. Other politicians such as D K Duncan, Patrick Anderson and Dean Peart became central to the journey in their youthful days to occupy the crease following their clear understanding of the journey.

Those who have served for decades in differing capacities must be remembered and honoured for their contribution. We see some have spawned generations to follow in their footsteps. This round of election will see Duncan’s daughters, Imani and Patricia, deciding to follow his footsteps on the sands of political time.

The PNP has found it appropriate to acknowledge and recognise all of those in front and in the background ,who have given yeoman service and are still in the pavilion welcoming and serving those who have come to replace them. The nation remains thankful.
