Andrew Holness

Andrew Holness, has been returned as Leader of the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) .

That was the outcome of Sunday’s leadership race that saw Holness being challenged by Audley Shaw , a long-standing member of the Party.

When the votes were counted on Sunday afternoon, it was revealed that Holness won by 2704 votes to Shaw’s 2012 .

The voting process which was overseen by the Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) got underway on Sunday morning with reports of a high voter turnout.

Just over 5000 delegates were registered to vote.

In August, Shaw announced his intention to challenge Andrew Holness, a former prime minister , for the leadership of the party.

After advising Holness and other party officials, the former Finance Minister embarked on an island wide consultation.

Following the JLP’s crushing defeat in the December 2011 general election, some party members have blamed Holness and rumours then started that Shaw would challenge him.Holness had been described by detractors in the party as indecisive and weak.

Good, now onto being a viable opposition.

Well it looks like Shaw's team won the Best Box Food award.

Over in Shaw's camp, the line towards the food was consistently long. People sat with arms full of boxed food, and huge belches rocketed the early morning.

The "refreshment" cards were torn when issued, and that was how they kept count, but the process was breached and cards were issued to all and sundry.

"We bussed people here at great cost. We had them overnight in Kingston at great cost and after they voted, they turned up in Andrew Holness shirts," said Dennis Meadows, supporter of Shaw.

I love it!

I'm so happy Holness, my former drinking partner, was returned as leader of the opposition.

He has a mammoth task reuniting the party. Don't be surprised if Betty Ann Blaine starts receiving some applications for her struggling party.

Gwaan Holness!!!

[Assasin]

him better do more, this is just a signal to him. Him need to step it up.

[Mosiah]

I sense some disappointment. No?

[Assasin]

no if you saw I posted before that I can't support the politicans of the 80s and 90 but you have to understand that Shaw is now a power broker as well as Tufton. As I told you earlier in the year, it can only make Holness stronger or weaker and it seems like he did step up.

It is a great opportunity for him and he now has some good ground work.
