A fiery political battle is under way in the St Catherine East Central constituency as incumbent Member of Parliament Alando Terrelonge of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and Raymond Pryce, the People’s National Party (PNP) standard-bearer, trade.

Tensions are flaring in several constituencies across Jamaica as members of the two major political parties trade accusations of political sabotage, violence, and destruction of campaign paraphernalia.

Opposition Leader Mark Golding is pledging additional changes to the Integrity Commission Act that would make public the financials of Cabinet ministers, a move he said is a sign of good governance.
