. . .I disagree-they are not disconnected at all . That fraudulent 'we have 2700 wrapped up' statement by Henry-Wilson was just a transparent sham to portray their candidate as the favorite-not dis-similar to the exit-poll fiasco in the last US election that said early on the voting day how 'far ahead' the Democratic candidate was in the swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania. It's nothing but a stunt saying 'our candidate is going to win so might as well vote for a winner.' If the 'solid as a rock' campaign felt they had the best candidate perhaps they should have spent more time extolling his virtues instead of casting aspersions on the eventual winner.

For all you know-it-alls, this does not mean she AUTOMATICALLY becomes prime minister. She was ONLY elected president of the PNP. It is up to the MPs to advise the GG that she comands the confidence of the majority of the elected members of the House, then if the GG agrees, he appoints that person as the PM. The MPs can still tell the GG she does not, and select someone else. It has never been done before in Ja, but that is the letter of the law, as I understand it. It nuh dun yet!!!
. . .the current PM and party leader said in his speech that he already has a commitment from the parliamentary group that whoever polled the most votes would indeed become PM.
