The Electoral Office of Jamaica (EOJ) has sought to clarify reports that several candidates nominated for the General Elections could be disqualified because they hold dual citizenship.
In a release issued Thursday afternoon, the EOJ said all 146 candidates for the upcoming General Election have been properly and duly nominated and only a court of law can render a candidate unqualified.
The EOJ is also cautioning the public not to fall prey and be misled by election or political gimmickry.
Director of Elections, Danville Walker, highlighted that the public and media should even be more careful in this sensitive period leading up to the August 27 election.
