Simpson Miller, who was addressing party members at a National Executive Council meeting in Cedar Grove, Portmore, St Catherine, said that “I will leave you as party leader but I will always be with you,” Simpson Miller said on Sunday.
Her announcement came on the heels of two major political defeats, the first in the February 25 General Election and then again on November 28, in the Local Government Election.
Many, including the youth arm of the party, Peoples National Party Youth Organisation (PNPYO), have since called on her to resign.
PNPYO has called for a change in the political vision being presented to the public, beginning with her as leader, as “the premier political movement in Jamaica, finds itself at a crossroads, where the noble institution has lost the faith, trust, and confidence of the majority of Jamaica’s people”.

Interesting times ahead But question to the pretty Dunce one.Whats the sense yuh win the Battle n lose the War? Yuh still nah get IT,so gwaan go nyamm the shyt pon ur calaloo n lef the ooman now zeen.

I am glad that Portia has finally come to her sense–later than I would have liked. However, it is better late then never. Now she should participate in the stewardship of the next PNP chairman/leader!
Lisa still nah get it
I hate this misogyny coming from the same sex everytime a woman is involved in pnp politics and wants leadership, she’s either a dunce or a snake or some kind of nut enough is enough yo. 60 million men and women voted for donald trump what are they? All wey a gwan some ppl tek dem eye off anju watch how him a go deal wid jamaica wickedly watch.
Portia after just becoming leader was th woman every woman aspired to be, until she put herself in the position she is now in with her behaviour and being looked down upon, as a woman am I supposed to back someone like that!?
Lisa Hannah is a nut case after the pretty princess found her man inna bed with another man a get f**k, her current “fiance” whom she has been with for many years was a married man (him wife finally giving him a divorce), some minister of youth she was, has thrown tantrums and has proven that she is a snake to even members of her party namely Portia who held her close like a daughter!
Her stepping down move passed its expiration date a longgggggg time ago. To lose not only one, but two elections in 1 year speaks for itself. Goodbye Portia!!!!!! Adios Senora!!!!!!!
