REGARDLESS of whoever forms the new executive after the People’s National Movement’s (PNM’s) internal election on June 22, Pennelope Beckles has already created history by becoming the party’s first female political leader-designate and Opposition Leader.

Beckles, 63, contested the position unopposed but she will formally be declared as political leader on June 29 at the PNM’s special convention, where the results of the internal election also will be announced.
