After the next General Election is held the battleground constituency of North East St. Catherine will have a new Member of Parliament.
Nationwide News understands that the incumbent MP for the area, the Jamaica Labour Party’s, Leslie Campbell, has told his constituency executive that he will not be seeking re-election.
Mr. Campbell confirmed the development a short while ago.
