Court Application To Be Added to Clarendon Municipal Corporation

PNP Press Release - October 23, 2026

The People's National Party (PNP) confirms that an application was filed in the Supreme Court on October 21, 2026, seeking to have Councillor Scean Barnswell joined as a party to the legal proceedings brought by Joel Williams and Clivalee Mundle, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation, respectively.

The proceedings were brought to prevent their removal from office by the majority of councillors following a shift in the composition of the Corporation, which now gives the PNP a clear 12–10 majority. However the Mayor and Deputy Mayor did not join any of the PNP Councillors in the lawsuit.

On October 16, an ex parte interim injunction prevented a duly convened special meeting of the Corporation at which the majority intended to elect a Mayor and Deputy Mayor who command its support.

The PNP maintains that the leadership of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation must reflect the will of the majority of its elected councillors. The application to add Councillor Barnswell as a party represents the first step in the legal process towards restoring democratic governance within the Corporation.

The Party remains committed to pursuing the appropriate legal remedies to ensure that the democratic will of the majority is respected and that the leadership of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation reflects its duly elected majority.
