A statistical dead heat is shaping up between the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People’s National Party (PNP) as the country inches closer to an outright winner of the September 3 general election.
Preliminary findings from the Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) as at 8:10 pm local time on Wednesday show the PNP pulling ahead to lead in 32 constituencies over the JLP’s 31 seats.
Ballot counting has progressed considerably in the past hour, with the EOJ processing 3,828 or 52.5 per cent of the cumulative 7,294 boxes collected at the end of voting at 5:00 pm.
