THE Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) is set to hold a special delegates conference on Sunday where it is expected to confirm Dr Peter Phillips as the new president of the 78-year-old movement.

Phillips was the only candidate nominated for the post.

The conference, which will be held at the National Arena in Kingston, is set for 10:00 am.

General secretary of the party, Julian Robinson, told journalists at a press briefing at the party’s headquarters in St Andrew yesterday that the conference is to afford delegates the opportunity to select Phillips “via acclamation”.

Former party president P J Patterson, outgoing President Portia Simpson Miller and President-designate Phillips are among those scheduled to speak.
