People’s National Party’s Vice Presidents Damian Crawford, Wykeham McNeil and Mikael Phillips and Party Chairman Phillip Paulwell have resigned their positions with immediate effect.
Vice President Mikael Phillips who was recently nominated for a Vice President post, has also decided to withdraw his nomination.
In a joint release, the men said they had engaged the wider leadership of the party in good faith negotiation to avoid a further widening of the internal rift, recognizing that the party leader had declared publicly, that the party could not countenance another divisive internal election at this time.
They said they arrived at the decision today, recognizing the risk of another internal election, before the wounds of the last presidential elections were adequately healed.
