Did the PNP listen to the wrong Prophet?

The election is over the results are in and today the Jamaica Labour Party is now the official party in power. But what about the Phinn prophecy? According to Dr Phinn, the self confess prophet, Portia Simpson and the PNP were supposed to win the next general election. Many die hearted PNP supporters were comforted by this divine intervention. But as we all know the prophecy did not come to past. My ultimate question therefore is “Did the PNP listen to the wrong prophet?

I came across an article on a Barbadian newspaper website titled “Pastor pulls in believers”. This is about Reverend Dr Paul Lewis a Jamaican who is also known for his Christian ministry. At a crusade in Barbados the preacher called many people by name. He told them their cell and home telephone numbers, even dates of birth. He shared with them the secrets of their hearts, then addressed their prayer needs.

Perhaps the PNP should have called on Dr Paul Lewis. There was a widespread belief that many people parading as PNP supporters were there for the “ride”. Imagine Dr Paul Lewis knowing some of these “supporters” true intention. Maybe this could have changed the outcome of the election. Again this is just my speculation but I personally believe that the Jamaican people have truly spoken.

The People's National Party accepts the announced preliminary results, while reserving all rights under the Jamaica constitution and our electoral laws...The determination of the constitutional issues by the court, as well as the final count in all seats could have a bearing on the outcome of this election," The PNP will always respect the voice of the Jamaican people and their will, as expressed in the vote.

Conceding No Victory says Portia

The Prime Minister is doing the right thing by not conceding defeat to the opposition Jamaica Labour Party in light of the fact that some the JLP candidates have dual citizenship with the constitution forbid for members of parliament to have. Even if the Prime Minister does concede defeat, it would not be a real defeat for the PNP, nor would it be a real victory for the JLP because of the closeness of the outcome; What this means is that the PNP will be a strong opposition, so strong that the JLP will not be able to push through any bills without the PNP consent, the JLP basically wont be able to have any stable rule. After 18 years of being without power, if the JLP call this result a victory they are seriously delusional. If the results/outcome of this general election stand the way it is, the one good thing that will come of it is that we will sharply see the violence in Jamaica subside and reduce without the JLP implementing a single crime policy.
