No Portmore parish before local government polls, says PM Holness
Jan 18th, 2024 | Category: Special Reports | 8:10#JamaicaGleaner JANUARY 18, 2024: In an apparent about-turn by the Andrew Holness administration, the prime minister yesterday (Wednesday, January 17) announced that the Government will not proceed with efforts to name Portmore Jamaica’s 15th parish before the upcoming local government elections. The decision marks a reversal from recent posturing from Cabinet Member Everald Warmington, who had declared on a political platform late last year that the establishment of Portmore as a parish was expected to give the Government a political advantage in the region. Holness clarified that while the legislation was ready for parliamentary consideration, it would not be passed until after the local government elections.
