<span style="font-family: 'Fixedsys'">Donald P Vernon, the attorney who heads <span style="font-weight: bold">Caribbean Centre for Progress, </span>said the decision "speaks to the discipline exhibited by the Jamaica Labour Party". He, however, maintained that he was still not satisfied with the reason given by Prime Minister Bruce Golding as to why he intends to step down.
According to Vernon, the decision seems "purely political". He said he feels that "there were more compelling reasons for his decision," that possibly could have had a serious impact on the country.
Addressing the imminent elevation of Holness to the position of prime minister, Vernon said "we will have to wait and see in what direction he takes the country".
Similar sentiments were echoed by Dorrett Aarons, who runs <span style="font-weight: bold">Mt Industry Civic Association </span>— a non-profit body. She said she hopes the new prime minister "will bring some vibrancy to the governance of the country" and that it was too early to "make a decision on how he will perform".
In his reaction, Roy Davidson, who heads the <span style="font-weight: bold">National Association of Jamaica and Supportive Organisations (NAJASO), </span>said he was happy that the transition will be smooth. "We now have to wait and see what he brings to the table," he told the Observer, adding that NAJASO stands ready to work with the new prime minister on Diaspora affairs.
Marlon Hill who heads the <span style="font-weight: bold">Diaspora Board for the Southern United States</span>, said Holness should use the opportunity when he is elevated to the country's top job "as an opportunity to move the country in a new direction".
Like many nationals here, Hill said he was pleased that the leadership transition has been smooth so far, arguing that it reflects a level of maturity and assures stability in the political and governance process.
Meantime, California-based Trevor H Francis, head of<span style="font-weight: bold"> Real Change for Jamaica Discussion Forum,</span> described the endorsement of Holness "as a bold move", adding that he wants to see how Holness will handle his new task and in what new direction he will lead the country.</span>
