‘We are different from the PNP’: Holness warns JLP to use power to do right by Jamaicans

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister and Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Leader Dr Andrew Holness has cautioned members of his party against pursuing another term in government simply to retain political power, insisting that the JLP must ensure that it seeks to do right by the Jamaican people.

Holness issued the warning while addressing a meeting of the JLP’s Central Executive on Sunday, telling labourites that the party must continue to pursue policies that serve the interests of the Jamaican people.

He argued that the JLP should avoid what he described as the mindset of a former People’s National Party (PNP) administration, pointing to Jamaica’s economic performance during the PNP’s 18-and-a-half years in office.
