As Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les be­gins whip­ping the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) in­to shape ahead of the next Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Elec­tions, the par­ty's chair­man, Mar­vin Gon­za­les, is urg­ing mem­bers to put aside in­ter­nal di­vi­sions and unite be­hind a com­mon goal.

Ad­dress­ing sup­port­ers at a PNM meet­ing in Mara­bel­la on Thurs­day night, Gon­za­les made a di­rect ap­peal for rec­on­cil­i­a­tion with­in the op­po­si­tion, de­clar­ing that per­son­al dif­fer­ences must no longer stand in the way of re­build­ing the par­ty.

"It is our re­spon­si­bil­i­ty as PNM mem­bers to put aside our pet­ty dif­fer­ences," Gon­za­les told sup­port­ers.
