Following the recent elections for leadership, PNP hopeful Carlos Simons has released the following to RTC news:
“I would like to thank all those NGC delegates who voted for me at the PNP Leadership Congress last Saturday. The result of the election was as shocking to me as I am sure it was to you, and to my supporters outside the NGC of the Party.
I congratulate Dr. Ewing and wish him well.
I am disappointed but not discouraged; dismayed but not disheartened; saddened but not bitter. So I will not abandon my Party or my Country. I will take time to rest and reflect and in consultation with those who support me I will then decide what should come next in my quest to be of service.
To those who supported me both within and outside the NGC, I say stay loyal to our Party, stay true to your principles and remember always that your Country comes first. I will in due course be touring the Islands to thank you all personally.
May God bless you all, may He bless the PNP and may He bless the TCI.”
