Former colonels Meredith Rowe and Ferron Williams, who plan to contest the upcoming Accompong Maroon leadership elections, have raised concerns about the process, which is being managed by the incumbent chief, Richard Currie, who is seeking re-election. The men are arguing that the electoral process is unfair and flawed.

The two former chiefs, who are also former policemen, are calling on the Government of Jamaica to intervene in the process so that the process meets acceptable standards.

“We will not support that. It is fake. It is wrong in every way,” Rowe said during a press conference on Monday as both men announced their candidacies.
