G2K launches 'campaign train'
GENERATION
2000 (G2K), the group of young professionals aligned to the
Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), says it will be campaigning in
marginal constituencies, in an effort to swing youth votes
to the Opposition party.
Chairman
of the group, Dr. David Panton, made the disclosure during
the launch of the group's 'campaign train' at Belmont Road,
New Kingston yesterday. The 'campaign train' is a 40-ft open-back
truck, decorated with green posters of youth leaders in the
JLP as well as green balloons.
Dr.
Panton said the group's campaign will be winding its way mostly
through central parishes. With JLP Leader Edward Seaga focusing
on the party's campaign in northern parishes and Bruce Golding
assisting deputy leaders in southern parishes, Dr. Panton
argued that G2K's focus would complement the party's general
thrust to bring out voters who might be wavering at this time.
He
said the 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.
