The People’s National Party (PNP) has strongly condemned the motion of no confidence against deputy mayor Danree Delancy, in the Westmoreland municipal corporation.

The motion was reportedly brought by Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) councillors, with the support of 3 former PNP councillors.

The three councillors, Ian Myles, Lawton McKenzie and Garfield James, had resigned from the PNP on monday.

In a statement this afternoon, the PNP said the charges of non-performance put forward in the motion are baseless and spurious.

It said the former PNP councillors support for the motion is a treacherous betrayal of the trust placed in them by the citizens of Westmoreland.

PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell said this hastily concocted motion is just the most recent in a series of “anti-party” and “anti-people” actions these councillors have taken.
