PNP to choose Assamba’s replacement on Sunday
MONTEGO BAY, St James -The ruling People’s National Party (PNP) has set Sunday, April 15, as the date for the party’s internal delegates’ poll to choose a candidate for the constituency of South East St Ann, presently held by tourism minister Aloun Assamba.
More than 800 delegates are expected to cast their ballots for the four aspirants- environmentalist Bevon Morrison, businesswoman Sheree Brown-McDonald, engineer Donald McDowell and executive director of the Jamaica 4-H Clubs Lenworth Fulton – as the party’s candidate in
the constituency.
Voting is scheduled to take place at the Ferncourt High School in Claremont, St Ann.
Assamba announced last November that she would not be contesting the seat in the next general elections following protest from some of her constituents against her stewardship of the constituency.
The South East St Ann seat is one of two in the parish for which the PNP is yet to confirm a candidate for the upcoming general elections. The other is South West St Ann where the party’s candidate Glenville Shaw resigned the position late last week.
