For monolingual Jamaicans who embrace their native language, Jamaican Creole, popularly called Patwa, the People’s National Party’s (PNP) manifesto is scripted in that vernacular for download on Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Sound Cloud and other streaming platforms.

Nekeisha Burchell, Deputy General Secretary of the PNP, made this announcement as the first speaker at the launch of the PNP’s manifesto at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston on Tuesday, August 12.

“As a millennial politician, it gives me great pleasure to inform you this evening that the PNP have changed things up… Everywhere you can click, you will find the People’s National Party’ s 2025 Love Letter to the People,” Burchell, who is popular called the Queen of the South, said before allowing a section of the audio play for the manifesto to be played for the comrades who gathered.

Dubbed a ‘Jamaica Love Plan’ the PNP’s manifesto stands on 10 pillars: justice for all, access to quality education, modern infrastructure, agriculture and food security, innovation and industry, care for the vulnerable, accountability in governance, land and housing, opportunity for youth, violence prevention and environmental resilience.

For his part, PNP Party Leader Mark Golding, who was the second speaker at the event, gave reasoning for this form of the online and downloadable manifesto.

“This manifesto is our plan for a new chapter built on our vision – Jamaica Love. It stands on 10 pillars… These pillars are a compass. They will guide us to invest in people. Close the gaps between uptown and downtown, between tourism zones and rural parishes, between the well-connected few who thrive while the majority feel neglected and dejected,” Golding explained.

He promised to protect, through the manifesto, economic stability and leverage it into inclusive and sustainable growth, creating a new era of opportunities for those who are now excluded from prosperity, while tackling corruption and abuse of power in governance.

“Jamaica, time come to life our country higher. Time come to lift our country higher and build a future that belongs to all of us. Let us take this journey together,” he said before ending his six-minute address.
