The Secretariat of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) says it intends to refer Garfield James to its Selection Committee and Central Executive as its candidate for Western Westmoreland.
The referral is to be made following a selection exercise in the constituency on Sunday, which resulted in James emerging with a majority of the votes.
Jamaica Labour Party General Secretary Horace Chang is thanking the two participants in the democratic process, James and Moreland Wilson.
The party is also thankful to all workers and delegates who participated in the exercise.
Chang says he is confident that unity will prevail among the Jamaica Labour Party family in Western Westmoreland. The Jamaica Labour Party General Secretary also says he remains confident in the candidate selection processes being deployed by the party, which present an opportunity for party workers and delegates to make their voices heard.
The processes involve a constituency audit, polling, consultation with workers and delegates, and a selection exercise.
Chang notes that the processes reiterate that democracy is alive and well in the Jamaica Labour Party.
