Hanna is getting the cold shoulder?
Reports have surfaced that following Lisa Hanna’s commanding performance in the youth leadership debate and the public growing support of her as a bright prospect as a leader for the PNP , she is being given the cold shoulder by certain elements in the party.
By all accounts Lisa Hanna emerged as the best speaker when one compares all three leadership debates including the one between Andrew Holness and Portia Simpson.
The public support for Lisa has grown tremendously since the debate and many have publicly indicated that she is just about ready to take over from the aging elder statesmen/women in the party . That has not however gone over well with many in the party and word reaching us now, is that she is being given the cold shoulder by certain elements in the party.
This indeed a worrying development, as while I have publicly stated my disapproval of PSM leadership of the PNP, I would fully throw my support behind Lisa Hanna as leader of the PNP. There is no doubt in my mind that she would be fully supported by the public, but she would have to get pass the the delegates, many of whom are “brain dead” , which would make her rise to the top post that more difficult.
We hope the reports we are receiving are not true , as this would clearly demonstrate the notion that PSM is willing to risk all, just to be seen as the first elected female PM of Jamaica, vs giving the PNP the best possible chance of wresting leadership from the JLP.
