Opposition Leader Andrew Holness says the JLP must endeavour to speak with one voice as it prepares for battle in the next local government and general elections.
Nationwide News understands that Mr. Holness made the comments yesterday at the Mona Campus of the UWI, as the party announced the installation of seven new caretakers in constituencies across the island.
We have more in this report from Dennis Brooks.
Its understood that Mr. Holness used yesterday’s meeting of the party’s Central Executive to reaffirm the point that the party’s position on matters of national significance, must never be undermined by any individual.
This after the party’s position on the government’s Electricity Sector Enterprise Team, ESET, appeared to have been contradicted by its Spokesman on Energy, Karl Samuda.
Sources at the meeting say Mr. Holness told the audience that he will not allow any member to use the media or other platform, to undermine the position or decision of the party.
Holness is understood to have called for a more united JLP, one that’s focused on offering effective representation to Jamaicans and winning elections.
Meanwhile seven candidates were unveiled by the JLP as the party gets its house in order for the next general election.
JLP General Secretary, Dr. Horace Chang, says some of the candidates are not new to representational politics.
Dr. Chang says 19 new faces have already been drafted in to represent the party in local government elections, which are constitutionally due next March.
