The Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) Central Executive, which met on Sunday, December 7, has passed two resolutions for intensified support for citizens impacted by Hurricane Melissa and the cancellation of the party’s conference and re-election en bloc of the JLP officer corps.

“The Central Executive passed on its condolences to families who have lost loved ones and took note of Jamaicans who are still without basic services: electricity, water, internet service, roadways, and proper garbage collections,” Robert Montague, Chairman of the JLP, said.

Relevant agencies, departments and institutions of the state were urged to intensify efforts to assist Jamaicans in recovering from the impact of Hurricane Melissa.

The resolution passed by the Central Executive also took careful note of the cancellation of the 2025 staging of the Party’s Annual Conference and also approved the re-election en bloc of all members of the party’s officer corps.

“The Standing Committee had made that recommendation, and the Central Executive took the decision to support and endorse the decision of the Standing Committee. The party believes that every Jamaican, every organ and institution of the JLP must be focused on bringing recovery to the persons who were affected by the largest Hurricane that Jamaica has seen in history,” Montague added.
