Labour an’ dem neighbour
THE Jamaica Labour Party held an impromptu mass meeting Sunday night in the vicinity of the St Catherine South Central constituency. The purpose of the meeting was to jolt Labourites into action as Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller of the ruling People’s National Party summoned thousands of Comrades to Half-Way-Tree, St Andrew, where she announced an early general election for February 25. Nomination Day is on February 9. Here are some highlights from the JLP meeting captured by Jamaica Observer photographer Michael Gordon.
