PNM picks Penny: Arima MP chosen as Opposition Leader

That was the message to the public from People’s National Movement Arima MP Pennelope Beckles-Robinson, who will become the party’s Opposition leader, after a unanimous General Council decision yesterday.

And Beckles-Robinson says her policy will not be one of obstructing and she will have no objection to meeting incoming prime minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to find common ground on issues.

Former party leader Dr Keith Rowley, whose resignation yesterday will become effective today, has also said he lost Monday’s General Election and not outgoing prime minister Stuart Young, who also resigned as chairman yesterday, as did Rohan Sinanan as a deputy political leader.The post of leader will be filled within six months, according to PNM’s constitution, and will remain vacant until then.
