JAMAICA: Does "Sista P" have what it takes to lead the PNP?
The ruling People's National Party (PNP) must choose from one of four
candidates to replace Prime Minister P J Patterson when he steps down before
April's budget. The last PNP leadership race in 1992 saw Patterson triumph over
Portia Simpson Miller, who goes under the soubriquet "Sista P". This
time around Simpson Miller, the local government minister, is the clear
favourite among those who will attend the special delegates conference to choose
Patterson's successor in February.
