Leader of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Andrew Holness, says he pays little attention to the polls conducted by Don Anderson, despite their prominence during election seasons.

“Don Anderson predicted in 2007, 2011, 2016, and 2020. I’m not going to discredit any polls, but I don’t listen to his poll,” Holness stated.

With the current election campaign clouded by public concerns about corruption, Holness acknowledged that such issues could influence how some Jamaicans vote.

“There are Jamaicans who will listen to the headline and not necessarily listen to the story,” he said while

Holness is contested by People’s National Party Candidate Paul Buchanan for West Central St Andrew.
