I stand with Peter - How the PNP’s political representatives line up behind Phillips, Bunting
With nomination week set for later this month and an election for leadership of the People’s National Party scheduled for September 7, the prospective candidates have each been pushing hard to show the level of support they have from their party colleagues at all levels. While it will ultimately be the delegates who decide, both Dr Peter Phillips and Peter Bunting will want to know the political representatives who control the delegates are with them. Things may change, but so far, here’s how it’s lining up for the incumbent and his challenger.
