The backstory to the #PNP resignations is interesting. The team that supported Mark Golding in the last presidential election was negotiating with the supporters of former presidential candidate Lisa Hanna. The target was to have two candidates from both ‘camps’ nominated as VPs. 
On the ‘Hanna’ slate were Mikael Phillips, Dr Wykeham McNeill and Donna Scott-Mottley. On the ‘Golding’ slate were Richard Azan and Norman Scott. No side was willing to drop one candidate to make way for the other. This would mean a VP election in an already fractured party.
Golding loyalists Ian Hayles and Eugene Kelly then joined Azan and Scott as nominees for the posts of VP in what had clearly now become a chess game. With nominations now closed, it seems all the #PNP VPs will be Golding backers.
One @JamaicaPNP insider: "The good thing is that all of this pruning that is required for us to grow is taking place in year one."
