Op­po­si­tion Leader and sole nom­i­nee for the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) lead­er­ship Pen­ne­lope Beck­les re­mains un­fazed by the ap­par­ent lack of sup­port from key par­ty fig­ures, in­clud­ing stal­wart Fer­die Fer­reira and MPs Stu­art Young and Camille Robin­son-Reg­is.

In her first press con­fer­ence as the in­com­ing PNM po­lit­i­cal leader, Beck­les took no of­fence to Fer­reira al­leged­ly say­ing he did not sup­port her for leader but wished her well.

“I don’t know of any per­son who be­comes a leader that you will have every­body sup­port­ing you ini­tial­ly,” Beck­les said.
