LINSTEAD:
GENERAL SECRETARY of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Dr. Ken
Baugh, yesterday toured sections of his constituency, West
Central St. Catherine.
Dr.
Baugh told his supporters that they are to exercise constraints
and do not retaliate to abuses and, as much as is possible,
get their voting done early and do not loiter on the streets.
A
check with several polling stations in West Central and North
West St. Catherine where Robert Pickersgill is Member of Parliament,
revealed that campaigning has already been completed and people
are getting about their business in a quiet way. Of special
significance several churches will be open today for prayers
for God's guidance and protection in the elections.
The
police said they will not allow polling stations to be clustered
and when persons have voted, they will be asked to leave the
station. The police also said no one will be allowed to carry
any weapon, as they could be arrested and brought before the
law courts.
