Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) leader Andrew Holness has told party workers they are always 21 days away from an election and must be prepared.

He made his comments last night following a tour of sections of Western Hanover, to buttress support for the JLP's new candidate for the constituency, Brian Wallace.

Holness says he is restarting his organisation's ground campaign and it will continue to Election Day.

Meanwhile, Holness says he will be travelling across the island once more in a bid to unite persons who may have had differences with each other.

He says he will be taking the party’s message of prosperity and hope everywhere he goes.

The country has been anticipating the calling of early elections since late last year.

However, elections are not constitutionally due until December.
