JLP Press Release - 2025/12/8

| Pm Andrew Holness and Paul Buchanan |
JLP says Court ruling in Buchanan v Constituted Authority is victory for rule of law & slams PNP for “weaponizing false allegations”.
Jamaica Labour Party Communication Taskforce Chairman, Senator Abka Fitz-Henley, says the Supreme Court’s rejection of the PNP’s Paul Buchanan’s challenge to Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ victory in West Central St. Andrew is a victory for the rule of law and Jamaica’s electoral system.
Justice Sonya Wint-Blair ruled today that the application by Buchanan’s attorney, Hugh Wildman, was not arguable and was subjected to a “knock-out blow” in law.
In dismissing Buchanan’s application, the Supreme Court also found that the mandatory statutory time period for challenging the election results had expired and that the October 8 judicial review application was without merit.
Senator Fitz-Henley says the Jamaica Labour Party is not surprised by the Court’s decision to dismiss the case brought by the PNP representative because of the guidance which had been given to the Party by eminently King's Counsel and Electoral Commission of Jamaica Commissioner, Tom Tavares Finson.
Senator Fitz-Henley says the judgment of the Court today is a strike against the use of the court system to advance baseless allegations.
Senator Fitz-Henley is slamming Paul Buchanan and the Mark Golding-led PNP for what he says is their willingness to target Dr. Holness with untruthful allegations.
He says careful note should be taken of the willingness of the PNP to jeopardize Jamaica’s reputable democratic system with patently false allegations.

The PNP in Opposition is a most unattractive organisation to behold. They become so power-hungry to the point where it is upsetting and unsettling. Whenever they're in opposition, the political tribalism tun up because they honestly believe that this is PNP country. Even the way they ran the election was very divisive. If I'm interviewing for a job, I wouldn't be telling the interviewer that the reason they should employ me is because the other person is not a good candidate. Even if that is so, I need to be telling them what I have to offer. The PNP spent years turning up the political tribalism and deepening the divide because their only tactic was to tear down their opponent. Divide and conquer. It is not the 1st time they are using the courts to try and wrestle power. Why can't they accept the will of the people?
