Po­lit­i­cal an­a­lysts are urg­ing the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) to con­front its in­ter­nal di­vi­sions head-on, fol­low­ing a pub­lic ap­peal by par­ty chair­man Mar­vin Gon­za­les for uni­ty as the Op­po­si­tion pre­pares for the up­com­ing lo­cal gov­ern­ment elec­tions.

Speak­ing at a par­ty meet­ing in Mara­bel­la last Thurs­day, Gon­za­les called on mem­bers to put aside per­son­al griev­ances, in­sist­ing that in­ter­nal dis­putes must no longer dis­tract from the par­ty’s mis­sion.

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