The Jamaica Labour Party is paying glowing tribute to former treasurer and party stalwart Chris Bovell, who died today, January 14, 2026.

Jamaica Labour Party Chairman Robert Montague is lauding Mr. Bovell for his contribution to public life in Jamaica and his Party.
Mr. Montague says:
"Christopher Bovell contributed heavily to national life in Jamaica including in the political and legal field. He was a former Senator who was dynamic in his contributions via the Parliament. Chris also served the Jamaica Labour Party well as our former Treasurer and a member of the Standing Committee. He was a committed Party man who was resolute in his defence of the best interest of the Jamaican people, including during the turbulent 1970s."
Mr. Montague also expressed commiserations to Mr. Bovell's family and friends:
"On behalf of the Jamaica Labour Party, I express our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Chris. We thank them for allowing him to give service of the highest quality to Jamaica. It is good that while he was alive Chris' country recognised him with the Order of Distinction at the rank of Commander. There is no doubt thay he served his country with great distinction and richly deserved the national honour which was bestowed on him."
