Pennelope Beckles, the first female political leader of the PNM, has vowed to lead the party with love.

She made the promise while delivering her maiden speech after taking the oath of office at the PNM's special convention at City Hall on June 29.

The rain and change of venue at the last minute did not dampen the mood as almost 900 people turned up to celebrate the new executive taking their oaths of office.
