TRELAWNY, Jamaica – Former Government Senator Dennis Meadows was selected as the People’s National Party’s (PNP) standard- bearer for Trelawny Northern during a selection process in Falmouth on Sunday.
During a ‘yes/no’ vote, Meadows amassed 248 of the 262 ballots cast. One vote was spoilt, while 13 voted ‘no’.
The OBSERVER ONLINE was unable to ascertain the number of delegates that were eligible to vote.
Following the selection process, Meadows thanked the delegates who voted for him and expressed his intention to reach out to the 13 who did not support his bid.
