Tufton recommended for West Central St Catherine
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Labour Party has advised that it has declared the West Central St Catherine seat vacant and that Senator Dr Christopher Tufton is the recommended candidate to contest the seat on behalf of the party.
Deputy Leader James Robertson and Area Council Chairman Everard Warmington have been charged with responsibility for meeting with constituents to ensure a smooth transition, the JLP said in a release.
Tufton had lost by 15 votes to Councillor Devon Wint in a run-off to represent the party in the constituency for the next general election.
However, party leader Andrew Holness last Thursday asked Wint to resign following “a report of alleged improper conduct with a minor”.
