A long day at Jamaica College

DURING THE fairly uneventful poll at the Jamaica College campus, Old Hope Road, yesterday, thousands of mostly yellow and orange-clad supporters of the four PNP presidential hopefuls speculated for hours on who would come out the winner.

Only a few minor hiccups were reported, such as complaints from a number of delegates that had been left off the list, including Horace Dalley, the Minister of Labour and Social Security and a vocal supporter of Dr. Peter Phillips.

According to the party's general secretary, Burchell Whiteman, that issue was sorted out as Mr. Dalley and other delegates who had been inexplicably dropped from the list, including some lifetime members, were verified and allowed to vote.

With much of the day's focus placed on the 'entrance polls' put forward by Team Portia and Dr. Phillips 'Solid as a Rock' campaigns, supporters seesawed between feelings of euphoria and sadness as rumours circulated that each candidate had either won or lost the election.
