The People's National Party (PNP) is a major political party in Jamaica, founded in 1938. It was established to advocate for social justice, economic development, and the rights of the working class. The PNP has historically been associated with democratic socialism and has played a significant role in Jamaica's political landscape, including leading the government multiple times. The party's symbol is the palm tree, and its colors are green and gold. The PNP has produced several notable leaders, including former Prime Minister Michael Manley, who served from 1972 to 1980 and again from 1989 to 1992. The party continues to be an influential force in Jamaican politics.
