The move by the People’s National Party, PNP, caucus in the Clarendon Municipal Corporation to engineer a takeover at a special meeting of councillors on Friday, could run into problems.
That’s the view of veteran attorney, Abe Dabdoub.
The special meeting is set for 10 am on Friday to take no-confidence votes against Mayor Joel Williams and his deputy, Clive Mundle.
Both men are members of the Jamaica Labour Party, JLP.
The planned vote comes days after May Pen North Councillor Tanya-Lee Williams announced she is leaving the JLP for the PNP.
Her attempt to cross the floor last Thursday was ruled out of order and the meeting adjourned.
Her switch will break the 11-11 deadlock and give the PNP 12 of the 22 divisional seats in the corporation.
Dabdoub told Nationwide’s Chevon Campbell on Tuesday that he thinks the JLP caucus may have strong grounds to pursue action in court.
