The Clarendon Municipal Corporation is bracing for a tense political showdown on Friday, as a special meeting has been called to address the leadership of the local authority.
At the centre of the agenda is the reading of a declaration from Councillor Tanyalee Williams of the May Pen North Division, who has switched political allegiance from the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) to the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP).
The move would give the PNP 12 seats to the JLP’s 10, breaking an 11–11 deadlock that had left the corporation evenly divided.
