Chalk one up for the Dinosaurs!

[Exile]

Isn't this the youthful team? New blood?

[Mosiah]

heard he got a transfusion the other day.

[Mosiah]

Karl Samuda declared as well. Another dinosaur back in Godon House! Portia seat also declared and Derrick Smith.

Omar's seat also declared but I don't consider Omar a dinosaur.

Anyway, the dinosaurs seem to be doing extremely well!

Portia: Jamaicans will smile tonight
By CONRAD HAMILTON Observer senior reporter
Thursday, December 29, 2011



“THE people of Jamaica will have something to smile about tonight,” Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller said this evening at the close of the polls.
A very confident Simpson Miller said her party would regain power.
She made a brief stop in Dr Peter Phillips’ constituency in St Andrew East Central.
A throng of People’s National Party supporters greeted Simpson Miller during her stop at a polling station at Olivet Gospel Hall off Waltham Park in the constituency.

PNP starts celebrating in Arnett Gardens

Thursday, December 29, 2011



THE results have not yet been announced, but there was a massive celebration among supporters of the People’s National Party (PNP) in the St Andrew South Division minutes before polling closed.
"We nuh hear no results yet but we confident ah we win the seat," said one woman clad in full suit of orange minutes ago in the Arnett Gardens community.
The seat is being contested by the PNP’s Omar Davies and Jamaica Labour Party’s (JLP) Dennis Messias.
Not to be outdone, a few JLP supporters also took to the streets.
In other areas, a carnival-like atmosphere was evident as scores of voters took to the streets as polling stations closed.
In Olympic Gardens, an area that falls in West Central St Andrew, the constituency where prime minister Andrew Holness goes up against the PNP’s Patrick Roberts, the mood was the same.
Scores of party supporters from both major political parties were seen celebrating and in some cases holding heated debates under the watchful eyes of the police and military.
In Portmore, in St Catherine East Central Division, party supporters said they were eagerly awaiting the results later today.
"Twenty nine more minutes people," shouted a PNP supporter at the polling station in the area as he anxiously waited for the voting process to end.
