But while the two waited in line at PD 35, Holness, who was surrounded by media personnel, indicated that he would change his shirt before leaving briefly.

He returned in a blue button-up in which he voted but subsequently changed back into his JLP-branded shirt.

"I decided to change my shirt so that there would not be any criticism that I went into a polling station with my political shirt," he added.

He said his change of wardrobe indicates that he travels prepared.
