KINGSTON, Jamaica: Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller said Sunday she will not be forced into calling general elections despite rising tensions between Jamaica's two rival parties and reports of political violence.
The prime minister called an emergency meeting of the ruling People's National Party, this weekend, fueling speculation that she would announce a July election date.
On Sunday, Miller said elections can be held as late as October. "I will do so when I think the time is right," she said.
Her speech to candidates came as political tensions between the island's two rival parties rises.
Early Sunday, an office of the ruling party was firebombed in rural St. Ann parish. No one was injured, and police have not said whether the attack was a politically motivated.




Earlier this month, four supporters of the opposition Jamaica Labor Party were shot — one seriously wounded — as they drove through a Kingston park. Police have not arrested anyone.
Jamaica's political ombudsman asked candidates from both parties to monitor their motorcades and avoid inflammatory statements.
Violence has marred Jamaican elections in the past, especially during the 1970s, when hundreds of people were killed in political conflict.
