Angela Brown Burke

The minority caucus leader in the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation, Brown Burke was first elected a PNP vice-president in 2006. Then, she polled 1,502 votes to secure the final spot behind Peter Phillips, Ferguson and Derrick Kellier.

Derrick Kellier

Derrick Kellier has been on shaky ground in the PNP since the 2007 General Election when he pulled off the narrowest of victories in South St. James in what many in the party had labelled a safe seat.

But Kellier continued to enjoy the respect of his colleagues who applauded him for a fifth consecutive General Election victory. It was expected that his reward would be a place back among the vice-presidents after he polled the third highest number of votes in the 2006 vice-president race.

Noel Arscott

A cousin of PNP President Portia Simpson Miller, Arscott is a first time Member of Parliament who is on the way up. He has made no secret of his desire to take on a major leadership role in the party.

Within a month of winning the South West Clarendon seat Arscott unsuccessfully challenged Horace Dalley for the leadership of Region Four, which includes the parishes of St Catherine and Clarendon. He now lines up for one of the four vice-president posts.

Joseph 'Bunny' Witter

Joseph Witter has never won a major election. He contested the West Kingston seat against JLP leader Bruce Golding twice and was soundly beaten. He also contested and lost the Lawrence Tavern division in December's Local Government elections. Now he hopes to ride on Simpson Miller's coat tail into a vice-president post.
