A Supreme Court judge on Wednesday granted an application for an injunction that will effectively halt a planned nomination day exercise that was scheduled to take place in Accompong, St Elizabeth, today.

The court order is expected to also spoil plans for the election of a new leader that was scheduled for next Friday in the Maroon community.

A copy of the order handed down by Justice N Hart-Hines shared with the Jamaica Observer on Thursday stated that upon the ex parte notice of application for interim injunction, it was ordered that nomination day and election day exercises be stayed until June 10, 2026 or until such date as the amended notice of application for court orders filed are heard.
