THE PEOPLE'S National Party (PNP) secretariat says the list of delegates who will decide on the governing party's next president has finally been completed.
Maureen Webber, PNP deputy general secretary, toldThe Gleaner yesterday that the list had been collected from the Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) and would be delivered to all four candidates by 6:00 p.m.
Earlier this week, Ms. Webber said the five persons working on the delegates' list since the presidential race got under way had been subjected to 12-hour-long workdays. She said the inadequate number of persons who worked to finalise the list led to the delays.
"It's not a thing everyone can do," she said. "These are people who have worked in the system and are familiar with the names and so we are comfortable with them. It's hard to tell a new person what to do."
The final delegates' list should have been completed last Friday but was delayed by hundreds of appeals.
