At least one political candidate is facing a lawsuit following accusations of dual citizenship.

People’s National Party (PNP) candidate for West Portland Abe Dabdoub this morning filed a motion in the Supreme Court against Daryl Vaz Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), his rival for the seat.

The hearing is set for September 13.

Mr. Vaz is one of seven JLP candidates who the PNP has accused of having dual citizenship.

Earlier this month, PNP Chairman Robert Pickersgill wrote to the Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Jamaica, Professor Errol Miller asking him to investigate the issue.

The lawsuit against Mr. Vaz is the first one filed since the accusations surfaced.
