Jamaica's general election is expected to take place by next summer and on Sunday the People’s National Party hosted their latest conference to inform Jamaicans about their plans for the country, the event was also a rallying cry, urging Jamaicans to support the party on election day.
Notably, the main speech by party leader Mark Golding was overshadowed by the deeds of Vybz Kartel and L.A. Lewis which got more attention in the media. Reacting to the happenings, radio personality Cliff Hughes talked extensively on the matter in his Monday show on Nationwide.
"The PNP is politically desperate, it cannot fathom being in opposition for three consecutive terms," he went on to outline that the party has been out of power for no more than two consecutive terms, hence they are willing to do all it takes to win the next election and not be out of power for three consecutive terms.
Calling out Mark Goding and his associates, the journalist expressed that the leadership of the opposition is relatively inexperienced, he highlights that what happened on Sunday was a result of inexperience.
"A man of questionable character is hailed as a hero," says Cliff Hughes as he bashes the move to have Vybz Kartel up front and centre at the event. According to Hughes, the orange-coloured party is using Vybz Kartel's popularity to boast their influence, "they welcome him because they know it is gonna resonate".
Kartel and CurrieAccording to Huges, the route the party is going down nowadays is not of its origins from Manley's days. He says while Golding made some "good points" during his speech, "most of what he came with are not organically new ideas," says Huges.
"Who in the leadership of the PNP was courageous enough to stand up and say not a boxide... who was courageous enough to do that... where were day," he asked before calling out Pete Bunting for not standing up against the decision to have the deejay on stage.
"We have to confront it because we know the dangers, we know the threats we are facing," he stated.
During the show, Huges replayed an earlier report in which Peter Bunting stated that Kartel is the "poster child" of the negative elements in Jamaica's popular culture. "He's very clever, he's is very talented but he has put that talent entirely in the service of evil," Bunting stated several years ago.
'Where was he yesterday," the radio man asked with regards to Peter Bunting allowing the deed to be done. He went on to conclude that both political parties have used questionable personalities to boost their chances of winning at the polls.
A man who said he was 91 years old called into the radio program and likened Vybz Kartel's endorsement to similar deeds that took place in the 1970s and the 1980s.
"Seeing Kartel on the podium yesterday... his presence on the podium let me feel nervous, make me feel like i want to go home," he said before calling out several Jamaican gangsters' names who did similar deeds, ultimately leading to an increase in violence on the island.
