PNP Leader, Dr Peter Phillips hit the campaign trail in South East Clarendon yesterday, with the party’s caretaker candidate for the constituency, Patricia Duncan Sutherland.

The tour started in Freetown and ended at the PNP’s constituency office in Mineral Heights.

Dr Phillips told residents they’ve been underrepresented and the time’s come to fix that.

South East Clarendon has been a stronghold of the governing JLP for more than 18 years.


Sections of South East Clarendon were blanketed in orange as supporters of the People’s National Party anxiously awaited the arrival of their leader, Dr Peter Phillips.

Dr Phillips toured several parts of the constituency with his caretaker candidate, Patricia Duncan Sutherland.

He used the opportunity to tackle various issues.

He was greeted in some areas with the PNP symbol of the fist, and people shouting power.

Other onlookers commented, ” how we look? or this look good”.

The party leader hailed residents from a PNP branded vehicle bearing his image and the phrase “Mr Fix It”.

And that’s exactly what he told residents of Clarendon he plans to do.

But some apparent JLP supporters in Hunts Pen taunted the Opposition leader, shouting “we don’t want you ” and “shower”, while waving green t-shirts.

But Dr Phillips urged them to “not get tricked again”.
