Destiny delayed - Golding must wait
Written by JamaicaElections.com
The country might have to wait until late next week before Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) leader Bruce Golding is sworn in as the country’s next Prime Minister after leading his party to victory in the September 3 general election.
With election-related violence ongoing, winning People’s National Party (PNP) candidate for South East St. Andrew, Maxine-Henry Wilson is calling on the JLP leadership to reign in their supporters, whom she blames for political violence in her constituency.
Meanwhile police are seeking Newton ‘George Phang’ Horne, brother of Norman Horne, the People’s National Party (PNP) caretaker for South East St. Elizabeth, in connection with multiple counts of shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.

It’s really just delaying the process of the inevitable. The searing in ceremony will take place and Bruce Golding will be the next Prime Minister.
On the matter of violence i really think MP’s from both sides should talk to their supporters, cause i believe it’s not a one sided affair both sides asre being attacked, those who are upset and those who think they are in control now. MP’s calling out and laying the blame on another party will not solve the problem cause they also need to realize there are troublemakers who are not supporters of any party who take whatever opportunity they can to crate havoc. There instead of laying blame on who is causing the violence, this is a good opportunity to work at stemming the violence when party leaders come together and show one front.

“Patience is a virtue”. Mr Golding ,and the all the Jamaican People have waited for years to see a change. It is evident that one is on the way. A few more days will only prepare him to be a stronger leader. This is only another test of faith.
