Senator, former Miss Ja to replace Peter Blake in St Andrew East Rural
Imani gets the nod

THE ruling People's National Party (PNP) has decided to replace businessman Peter Blake with Government Senator Imani Duncan Price in the St Andrew East Rural constituency for the next general election expected within weeks, the Jamaica Observer can reveal.

Duncan Price, 38, was asked by members of the party's hierarchy to take charge of the constituency last week, after rumours emerged that Blake, who defeated incumbent Member of Parliament Damion Crawford in a selection race recently, would not be allowed to represent the party.

Information reaching the Sunday Observer is that the only obstacle left in Duncan Price's way is clearance from the PNP's Integrity Commission, which she is expected to face by later this week.

The reasons for Blake's ouster were not made clear up to late yesterday, but this marks the second time in consecutive elections and successive selection races that he has been denied by the party's leadership, thus clearing ground for a fresh round of speculation.

What the hell is going on here?
What Blake do to the top party brass. This does not look good for his rep.

Link me privately if you have the sccop.

We are so obsessed by this Miss Jamaica nonsense. I bet they will lazily draw for her Miss Jamaica file photos instead of putting up something recent and relevant.

I think Miss Jam...Ms. Duncan Price should turn them down. How di people fi select dem candidate only for the big brass fi shoob him out?!? They may keep away from the polls and mek har lose. And that is not what the PNP has in mind for young Duncan Price. Their aim, I am sure, is to give her an easy seat that will fast-track her rise in the party. Not sure that is an easy seat for the PNP. But wi so fool, all JLP people will vote fi di pretty girl.

Looks like the PNP leadership has had enough of this pesky democracy thing for this election cycle

I guess the beauty queen credentials is the headline grabber. They eventually get around to mentioning her qualifications as a Harvard graduate in Public Administration and an accomplished businesswoman way down in the story. Who cares about that though, she look good!!

Daughter of outgoing MP for Hanover Eastern and former minister of national mobilisation from 1976 to 1980 in a PNP Administration Dr DK Duncan, Imani Duncan Price, who acquired the African Swahili Christian name that means belief, and faith... is said to be warming to the opportunity of representing the people of the rural east.

Loaded sentence!

What crock!?!? African Swahili Christian name...the name, I am almost positive, has closer ties to Islam than any other faith. Christian?! Wah, she nuh waan nuhbody style har like Obama and call har Muslim?!? Wooiiiee!

She "acquired" the name...she was named something else at birth? And picked up this African Swahili Christian name along the way?!!?

"...is said to be warming to the opportunity of representing the people of the rural east." - So, she not really feeling dis ting? PNP a gi har something she nuh really know if she want just yet?!?! But a weh di...! Maybe the constituents should tek dem time warm to har too!

I think that only Blake can win the seat for PNP.

It is a swing seat.
