JAMAICA Labour Party candidate for North Clarendon, Lawrence Broderick, said he is confident of his chances of winning the constituency.

“Voting has been smooth, we are doing well, and we could surprise,” said a smiling Broderick, standing metres far from the Kellits Primary School, which houses six poling stations, catering to 1,598 registered voters.

“We are specially strong in the hills, you see; places where pollsters have never gone,” he added.

Broderick said he had not yet voted but that he would do so about 3:00 pm in Aenon Town, also in the constituency.

Shortly before 2:00 pm, 818 persons had voted at Kellits Primary School.

For the most part, things went smoothly at that location where persons waited calmly in short lines for their turn to vote.

According to officials there, except for a few persons who turned up without their voters IDs, voting went on without any glitches.

Broderick is challenging the People’s National Party’s Horace Dalley.
