KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) will on Sunday, December 1 elect its new slate of officers in one of the most anticipated meeting of its Central Executive.

The meeting is scheduled to start at 10:00 am at the party’s Belmont Road headquarters and should end by 5:00 p.m.

JLP Chairman, Deputy Chairman, General Secretary and Deputy General Secretaries are among the top posts up for grabs.
