People’s National Movement (PNM) General Secretary Foster Cummings is defending the voter turnout in the party’s internal elections on Sunday, attributing it to the fact that the post of political leader was uncontested.
Of the 102,300 eligible members to vote, only 7,100 voted during the process as political leader Pennelope Beckles’ One PNM slate took 14 of 15 executive positions, according to preliminary results provided by the party’s Election Supervisory Committee.
During a media briefing at the Office of the Opposition Leader in Port-of-Spain yesterday, however, Cummings revealed that less than 10,000 voted in the party’s last internal election as well.
