JLP to increase the heat in its election campaign
The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) says it is getting ready to intensify its election campaign.
Party Leader Bruce Golding will be touring South East St. Mary Thursday.
Thursday evening he is slated to address a public meeting in Richmond.
JLP General Secretary Karl Samuda told RJR News that the Party will in short order crank up its election machinery with a series of activities.
“Our campaign is going very well, we have been working on a plan and this is just part of the intense programme that will lead us up until the announcement of the elections. Once that is done then you will see an intensification of that process where we will be accelerating the pace of our campaign,” said Mr. Samuda.
Mr. Samuda says the JLP is unfazed by the PNP's latest election strategies.
“I’d just like to comment on the Prime Minister and the notion that the Prime Minister will be more visible as they hit the road. You could have fooled me,”
“I thought she was on the road for a very long time she has been there. Every night she is at some other place, at some ground breaking, some opening, some viewing, some activity of that kind,”
“Plus the fact that she has benefited considerably from pre-paid advertisements by, for example the Housing Trust, that has the picture display full advertisement at no cost to the party,” Mr. Samuda continued.
