Labourities riding westJLP forgoes customary public rally at National Arena for scaled-down conference in MoBay

NO National Arena spectacle, no sea of supporters bussed from across the island, no grand public rally.

The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) will again scale back its 2026 annual conference, opting for a delegates-only business meeting in Montego Bay on November 15.

JLP Deputy Leader Desmond McKenzie, who announced the decision at a media conference at the party’s headquarters on Belmont Road in New Kingston on Friday, said the party recognised that although thousands of Jamaicans had received assistance through the Government’s response in the wake of Hurricane Melissa one year ago, much more needs to be done.
