Blythe ready for comeback
Permalink  
MONTEGO BAY, St James - Former People's National Party (PNP) vice-president and ex-member of parliament for Central Westmoreland Dr Karl Blythe says he is willing to return to representational politics if "certain" changes are made at the hierarchy of the organisation and after consultation with God.

"The hypocrisy must stop; we need to be fair to each other and treat others more kindly," Dr Blythe said yesterday. He said the attitude and behaviour of persons at the leadership level of the party leave much to be desired.

"You can't expect me to sit down around a table to hear people tearing down each other with lies," he said, but made it clear that he was not calling for a change in the leader of the party.

Dr Blythe, 62, a former minister of water and housing, who resigned for the P J Patterson Cabinet prior to the 2002 general elections, was speaking to the Observer yesterday, a day after his address at the party's Granville Divisional Conference in the constituency of West Central St James.
Since the defeat of the PNP's Francis Tulloch by the Jamaica Labour Party's Clive Mullings in last year's general elections and the subsequent resignation of Tulloch as caretaker for the area, there have been calls for Blythe to be the PNP's flag bearer in the constituency.

He told the conference on Sunday that while he would be overjoyed to represent the party in the constituency he would first have to consult the 'Father'.

"I and I believe in consultation with the Father, and the Father tells me to go and rest and take care of other matters now, so I can be stronger to help you in the future. And if the Father asks me to come to you, I will not hesitate to answer the trumpet if Him sey it's time for me to come to West Central," Blythe said, to loud applause from scores of party supporters.
"But whether or not I come to West Central, I want West Central and the Granville Division to know that I love you to the bottom of my heart. When the detractors pounced upon me to devour me you stood by me. When those wanted to smear my name to eat my flesh up you stood by me, and that is why I have a deep respect for West Central," he added.

Months before last September's general elections the former MP announced that he would not be available to contest the polls, after expressing his disappointment when he was not named in the Cabinet of then Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller in April 2006. He was replaced by the then agriculture minister, Roger Clarke, who went on to retain the seat for the party.

Blythe had also resigned from the P J Patterson Cabinet prior to the 2002 general elections, following controversy surrounding the government housing project, Operation Pride.

Meanwhile, Blythe said Sunday that the PNP needed to be unified, but he warned that unity will not be achieved until there are "serious changes and inside soul-seeking things taking place" in the party.

"If we go to the polls and we are not unified we will lose again," the former PNP vice-president said.
