THE FOUR aspirants for leadership of the governing People's National Party (PNP) yesterday indicated they were ready to rev up their cam-paigns after finally receiving a definitive timeline for the election of a new party president.
They commended him for his stance against dirty campaigning.
"That's excellent," said Portia Simpson Miller of the Prime Minister's address. "(At) Team Portia, we have always been a model of good comradeship and keeping our campaign standards very high in terms of our behaviour and our attitude."
Dr. Omar Davies said: "I think that those rules have all been observed ... You'll notice that our (Davies) campaign hasn't been involved in any controversy."
Dr. Peter Phillips said: "I support everything that he (the Prime Minister) said. I thought he made quite a telling address and it has my total and complete support."
And according to Dr. Karl Blythe: "My colleagues and aspirants like myself will ensure that we have a very smooth election."
