"The powerful hold that former prime minister and current president of the PNP, Portia Simpson Miller, has had on South West St Andrew since 1976 when she astounded the pundits by breaking the JLP stranglehold on the constituency remains one of the great electoral occurrences in Jamaica's history.
The area was for the most part, dominated by the JLP between 1944 and 1976, when, as a budding politician, Simpson Miller cast her spell. There, she proved that the dynamics of politics could shift, when she convincingly defeated the JLP's Joseph McPherson (13,584 to 4,376) in a 96 per cent voter turnout in the constituency."
This got me thinking. Why does it seem that most of the prime ministers run Kingston constituencies?
Micheal Manley - East Central Kingston
Edward Seaga - Western Kingston
Golding - West Kingston
Hmm. garrison politics for real.
Interesting.
