JLP rally Sunday night

THE JAMAICA Labour Party (JLP) says its thrice-postponed mass rally for Half-Way Tree, St. Andrew, will be held on Sunday night.

Opposition Leader Edward Seaga told supporters at a mass meeting in Denham Town on Tuesday night that the JLP will be moving up a gear in its campaigning this week with rallies in: Spanish Town on Thursday night; St. Thomas on Friday night; May Pen on Saturday night; and winding up Sunday night with the mass rally in Half-Way Tree.

The mass rally was originally scheduled for Monday, Septem-ber 23, the night after Prime Minister P.J. Patterson an-nounced the date for the next general election, but had to be postponed due to the inclement weather associated with Tropical Storm Isidore. It was later rescheduled to Sunday, September 29 and eventually, Monday, September 30, but had to be postponed on both occasions due to the rains linked to then Tropical Storm Lili.

Dr. David Panton, leader of the JLP's intellectual affiliate, G2K, said yesterday that the party's campaign or Election Train will be in Half-Way Tree on Sunday night for the party's mass rally, as well as Montego Bay on October 13, where there will be a final mass rally before the October 16 poll.
