Jamaica Labour Party to have delegates conference at Montego Bay Convention Centre on November 15, 2026
KINGSTON, Jamaica - November 06, 2026 — The Jamaica Labour Party has announced that its annual conference will take the form of a delegates conference on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St. James.
The conference is expected to get underway at approximately 10:00 a.m.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Stand Up Jamaica; Charting the Future Together.”
The conference will feature, during the private session, the election of our Deputy Leaders and Leader, all of whom, except William JC Hutchinson, are expected to be re-elected unopposed. Mr. Hutchinson has elected not to seek re-election. We thank him for his outstanding service.
The private session of the conference will also contain various working group discussions on important matters concerning our Party and country.
Prime Minister Dr. the Most Honourable Andrew Holness will deliver the main address at the Conference at approximately 1:30 p.m. The media will be invited in to cover the Prime Minister’s address, which will also be broadcast live.
Jamaica Labour Party Chairman Robert Montague, Deputy General Secretary Dr. Andrew Wheatley and Deputy Leader Desmond McKenzie gave the update during a media conference at the Party’s Headquarters on Belmont Road in St. Andrew on Friday.
Mr. McKenzie told the media conference that the Party recognizes that the whole-of-government response to Hurricane Melissa has positively impacted and brought assistance to thousands of Jamaicans.
However, the Deputy Leader noted that the Party also recognizes that a lot more needs to be done as there are still many Jamaicans who are struggling with the aftermath of the Hurricane, despite the passage of just over a year.
“In that vein of recognizing the moment and the mood of sections of the country, in respect of our annual conference, we have chosen to forgo the usual spectacle we have at the National Arena in Kingston. The Officer Corps of the Jamaica Labour Party has recommended the holding of a Delegates Conference, which will be a business-like session where important issues will be discussed, including the Party’s role in further assisting the recovery effort. The Central Executive of the Party has approved the recommendation,” Mr. McKenzie commented.
The senior members of the Party Officer Corps said they expect that the Party will have a successful conference as it further supports the post-Hurricane Melissa recovery process and remains optimistic about the future of Jamaica.
