Newly elected leader of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), Oswald Skippings, has responded to a challenge issued by his Progressive National Party (PNP) counterpart Dr Rufus Ewing. Ewing, when told a week before the PDM convention that Skippings was the heir apparent to the PDM leadership, said “bring him on”.

This may have been part of the reason ousted PDM leader DerekTaylor was easily beaten in last month’s party convention and leadership election. Taylor’s public speaking skills are known to be weaker than Skippings’.
