ST THOMAS, Jamaica A new mayor for Morant Bay is expected to be selected as the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) seems set to take over the St Thomas Municipal Corporation following Monday’s local government elections. The change is required after the party won the parish following a recount for the Llandewey Division. The recount showed that Andrea Patience of the JLP won the division, polling 1,316 votes to the People's.
The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) is projected to take control of the St Thomas Municipal Corporation following the final count of ballots in the Llandewey Division, which was tied in the preliminary count. The JLP's Andrea Patience has.
As was the case in 2016, the Llandewey Division in St Thomas Western appears to be heading to a recount after the incumbent the People’s National Party’s (PNP) Edwin Marr and the Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) Andrea Patience both polled 1,306.
Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) councillor-candidate Dean Jones ignored questions from the media after he was nominated to contest the upcoming local government election. "No media talk," Jones insisted as James Robertson, Member of Parliament.
