On august 7, 2007, about 140 Candidates were nominated to contest the August 27 General Election. Both the ruling People's National Party headed by Portia Simpson-Miller and the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party headed by Bruce Golding nominated 60 Candidates each to contest the election which is expected to be an evenly contested one.

At press time, the National Democratic Movement were expected to Nominate 11 candidates, 20 less than in 2002, eight from the International Ethiopian World Federation Incorporation Party, Four Independent and other minor political parties. Several supporters along with their candidates were seen parading by motorcade throughout the streets across Jamaica. There were no reported cases of political confrontation despite shouting power and shower with fist and two fingers symbolizing the signs for the P.N.P. and J.L.P.

Unrelated violent incidences reported yesterday however, include the fatal shooting of a policeman and the injuring of another as well as the tragic killing of an innocent citizen, allegedly shot by a policeman who was chasing a suspect through the woman’s home. The deceased woman had no connection to the person being pursued.

    I see the debate on youtube, protia look like she was reading her rebuttles from an autoque. (a machine that runs prewritten scripts for news readers) her whole body languge is suspect, to vote for a goverment that is pro U.S.A is to keep the rich rich and the poor poorer, crime will not decrease, it will increase. PNP obey one master,the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA under the leadership of the bush family, green and orange dont mean a dam ting in washington.

    To Comrade Hopeton, JLP win and the people have spoken now u expect miracles to happen with the JLP. The PNP wrecked the country for over a decade and you expect the JLP to use 5 years and fix everything u stupid or what. Oh and Micheal Stern will be in Parliment as MP for NW Clarendon just as i said he would. He worked hard and now he gets a chance to serve the people.

  • Comrade Hopeton Robinson

    My only hope is that the jamaican people and especially those in North West Clarendon get what they voted for.Sadly there are those among us who still think that handouts, promisses of free this and free that and one day bellyful is the way forward.I shall be watching with anxiety the next five years as promises remain unfulfilled and expectations are eroded while 'parson christen him pickney fuss and busha pot a boil while the peasants suffer' I have seen it all before but never thought i would live to see it again....really thought the Jamaican electorates had wisen up to the JLP, the party of empty promises,

    Back to NW Clarendon, and Frankfield in partcular, a word to the wise, it will be a dog eat dog situation in the not too far future and for those looking to Micheal Stern as the new messiah i say, go look wuk because you wont see anymore freeness until 2012 when he needs you again.

    Mark my words and walk good

  • Comrade Hopeton Robinson

    I was born and raised in N.W.Clarendon and has lived through the reign of 4 Members of parliament, ie Edwin Allen(JLP), Percival Minott(PNP), Clifton Stone(JLP) and Carl Marshall(PNP) and i can say without the shadow of any doubt, the most hard working and dedicated Member of Parliament ever to represent the people of N>W>Clarendon is Richard Azan. I challenge anyone to dispute that fact. I hope the people give him the opportunity to continue the progress and not allow the labourites to stop the progress. Ride home to victory Comrade Azan
