JLP, PNP agree to 3 debates before elections - Tuesday, November 29, 2011
THE Jamaica Debates Commission (JDC) says the Jamaica Labour Party and the People’s National Party have agreed to participate in three national debates before the next election.
The debates will be organised and staged under the auspices of the JDC.
The first debate will be a team debate consisting of three candidates from each party, debating socio-economic issues from the youth perspective for 90 minutes.
The second debate will be a 60-minute debate between the minister of finance and the opposition spokesman on finance on the country’s economic growth and development issues.
The final debate will be a 60-minute leadership debate between the prime minister and the leader of the opposition.
“The Commission thanks all those who have made it possible to get to this point and wishes to point out that while there remains much more to be done, the agreement has facilitated the finalisation of discussions with sponsors and service providers, and removes any uncertainty on the part of the electorate,” the JDC said.
