PNP ready to roll out media campaign
PNP President, Portia Simpson Miller.
Still smarting from what it characterises as an unfair start in the media race by the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), the Peoples National Party (PNP) says it is now ready to roll out its campaign advertisement.
PNP President Portia Simpson Miller has hinted that come next week the media will be the battleground of many an assault on the JLP.
The JLP's catchy "not changing course" ad has elicited many a chuckle from the interested as well as the indifferent.
But the PNP was not amused as Generation 2000 bought critical prime time slots in the media to run the ads over and over again.
Mrs. Simpson Miller has made no secret of her disgust with the ad.
She complained that Generation 2000 spliced voice clips of senior PNP's functionaries and dishonestly used them out of context.
She claims that she will not be stooping so low, but vowed that the ads from her party will be hard hitting.
The PNP President has pre-released excerpts of what is to come, one a hip music containing flattering description of Mrs. Simpson Miller.
She was clearly excited as she introduced the next potential advertisement which parades comments of JLP Leader Bruce Golding and General Secretary Karl Samuda when their relationship with the party was rocky.
The ads are expected to start running after Sunday's mass rally.
And when contacted Thursday night JLP General Secretary Karl Samuda said his Party is not intimidated by Mrs. Simpson Miller's pronouncement.
He also had a word of advice for the PNP President, “I would advise the Prime Minister and her campaign team not to go the route of so called stinging ads. If you are speaking of something that deals with actual performance and compare it with what has been done over the last 18 years, that’s one thing but the moment they seek to embark on anything that seems to portray any aspect of personal life or anything of the kind that is going to be a very sad state."
