<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dr Peter Phillips has retained the presidency of the People’s National Party, staving off a strong challenge from Peter Bunting.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dr Phillips captured the majority of the delegate votes at the National Arena. Two thousand nine-hundred eight delegates were registered to vote. A reported 96 per cent of the delegates voted.</p>

<p>The election brings to a close a heated election campaign that threatened to tear the party apart. Bunting’s Rise United camp and the One PNP camp of Dr Phillip’s both expressed confidence in a victory, even as voting was underway.</p>
