Opposition vows to repeal four laws if it regains power ‘by 2030 or before’

The Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) has vowed to re­peal four pieces of leg­is­la­tion in­tro­duced by the Gov­ern­ment if it re­turns to of­fice fol­low­ing the next gen­er­al elec­tion.

Among them are the Mu­nic­i­pal Cor­po­ra­tions (Amend­ment) Bill 2026, the Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Bill 2026, the Mis­cel­la­neous Pro­vi­sions (Al­co­hol, Cannabis, Dan­ger­ous Drugs, Gam­bling and To­bac­co) Bill 2026 and the Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment and Dis­pos­al of Prop­er­ty, Pub­lic Prop­er­ty (Amend­ment) Bill.

The com­mit­ment fol­lows a unan­i­mous de­ci­sion by the PNM’s gen­er­al coun­cil at a spe­cial meet­ing con­vened by po­lit­i­cal leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les at Bal­isi­er House on Thurs­day.
