Labourites Getting Ready to Choose - Miller or McKulsky?

McKulsky and Miller

Omar Miller or Hidran McKulsky will represent the Jamaica Labour Party in North East Manchester. Hidran McKulsky has organized his troops to get the nod of the JLP. Previously many felt it was just a handover from Audley Shaw to Omar Miller.

I understand that Audley Shaw had endorsed Omar Miller, but the McKulsky team would have none of that. So it is now the Craighead Councillor versus the Holmwood Technical High School Principal.

The JLP might have to have an indicative poll for that constituency to see which candidate the people would prefer. The contest could energize the party faithful in that constituency.

In the meantime, the PNP is looking on. Depending on who the JLP chooses, their campaign strategy could change!

Which candidate would be better for the JLP, and why?

Update on North East Manchester JLP Conference

Omar Miller

A reliable source has advised me that MP Audley Shaw has endorsed Councillor Omar Miller to represent the JLP in the North East Manchester Constituency. Audley Shaw has been the MP for over 30 years. This seat could be a tough one to win for the JLP, because after 30 years the electorate might go for a change in the party. Interesting days are ahead.

Although the Hidran McKulsky team must be disappointed, his acceptance of the reality of another person being the flag bearer for the JLP will go a long way in healing any wounds that might exist due to the rivalry that took place to represent the JLP.

Breaking News - Potential JLP Candidate Hidran McKulsky Absent From Party Constituency Conference?

Hidran McKulsky

Possible JLP candidate for the Manchester North Eastern constituency, Hidran McKulsky was absent from the constituency conference today, Sunday, November 17, 2024.

Members of his team are alleging that McKulsky was not invited or involved in the planning of the conference.

McKulsky although recognising the right of the party to select its own flag bearer for the constituency, felt that he should have been allowed to address the conference to put forward his plans for the constituency. Mr McKulsky feels that the action of the constituency planners could give the impression that he was being kept away from the workers and voters. 

It is unlikely Mr Hidran McKulsky will be representing the JLP in that constituency for the next general elections. The meeting is still going on, and from all indications, it seems the councillor for the Craig Head division will represent the JLP for North Eastern Manchester.

Mr Audley Shaw is the current member of parliament for the constituency. More changes are also expected in other constituencies due to the current MPs' age or the loss of support in their constituencies. With the polls showing the PNP leading, it is clear that the JLP has started to take certain strategic actions.

MP Morland Wilson Replies To Claims That Drains Not Cleaned

MP Morland Wilson

MP Moreland Wilson has emphatically denied rumours claiming that drains have not been cleaned in his constituency. In his press release, the MP did not identify the persons making the claims. I have received a link to a speech by the PNP Caretaker for Western Westmoreland Ian Hayles calling for cleaning drains.

Massive Flooding in Grenada - Over 12 Hours Of Rainfall

On Tuesday, November 12, there was rain for about 12 hours in Grenada and widespread flooding, my On The Ground Reporter says. There has been one report of a death. It is not confirmed if the death is related to the flooding.

JLP Process for Selecting Candidate in Manchester Heating Up!

Hidran McKulsky

MP Audley Shaw who has served the people of North East Manchester for a long time is about to step down from representational politics. There is strong campaigning taking place for Councillor Miller to replace Mr. Shaw, but many others are pushing from Holmwood Technical High School Principal Mr Hidran McKulsky. People see McKulsky as a big ticket for the JLP who would be able to handle a top post with a JLP win.

Cars Being Stolen at UHWI

The following report was received from a supporter:

"They have stolen cars at UHWI, especially when it rains and the Security leaves the gate open while sheltering. You may know they broke ground for the NEW hospital building and so the original parking spaces have disappeared, indefinitely."

Politics and Politricks - Temperatures are Rising Higher

Yes the temperatures are rising in the political arena but the gangs that normally provide support for the political parties are not interested in these political parties. I understand that the scammers are supportive of a few political aspirants. One political aspirant even got himself into trouble making positive statements about the scammers.

These days gangs and scammers are more powerful than politicians. Even with the increase pay politicians are getting, they cannot win over community members easily. One political leader told me that he organized a football match to get the young people involved. That political leader will have to leave that to the scammers now who can pay up to JAD0.5 million to the willing team and big money for each goal scored. I understand that at one match, there was a wide variety of high-end vehicles parked at a football match. These vehicles are owed by very young men. The Integrity Commission should investigate these scammers!

Hidran Mckulsky

Getting a seat in parliament these days is like fighting for a job. With better pay for political leaders, why not? I understand that some labourites are not happy that there is a move to block the path of Hidran Mckulsky to replace Audley Shaw in North East Manchester. I got information that Adion Peart a nephew of Dean Peart a former PNP MP, is looking to greener pastures since the orange seats are running out.

JLP supporters claim that Adion Peart has friends close to the leadership of the JLP party who are trying to clear the way for him. This might not be an easy task because Hidran Mckulsky the Principal of Holmwood Technical High is already very popular in the constituency.

Isat Buchanan

There is another interesting development in Portland - Isat Buchanan will be running against sitting MP Ann-Marie Vaz. Many persons see this move to have Isat Buchanan who has had a checkered past running for a seat in Portland, as a dumb move. This is not necessarily so. Money is important, and with the backing Isat has in the dancehall fraternity this could be a smart decision. Note the big reception that Vybz Kartel got at the last PNP conference when he went on the platform.

I had wondered why Vybz Kartel was invited to the platform? I now realize that Isat saved him so why not usher his lawyer and friend to the conference, riding in his chariot of fame. Oh the arena went wild when Vybz Kartel hit the stage with Isat by his side.

If Isat loses at the next general elections, then it would be no problem because the party would not need him for a ministerial position. He could be appointed to the Senate. I don't believe that the PNP expect to win Ann-Marie Vaz.

Interesting days are ahead!

Time For a Change - The PNP/JLP and/or the People? Better Must Come!

PM Holness and Opposition Leader Golding

As national elections draw closer, both major political parties have important decisions to make about their candidates. The leadership of the PNP appears stable for now, with no immediate challenges on the horizon. However, if the PNP loses the upcoming elections, the Golding-Bunting faction could fade away. Meanwhile, there is a quiet but steady rise in support for Lisa Hanna. She may currently seem like a minor disturbance, but there is potential for her to become a significant force, possibly mirroring a political phenomenon like Kamala Harris's rise in the U.S.

On the JLP side, several senior members are expected to step down before the next national elections. What's causing the delay? Are they waiting for a nudge from their leader or a decisive shift in voter sentiment? Many of these long-serving MPs, such as Mike Henry, Audley Shaw, Everald Warmington, JC Hutchinson, Olivia Grange, and Edmond Bartlette, have made substantial contributions. However, their time may be coming to an end, and the suspense is building as we await their next move.

The question remains whether the younger generation of politicians is prepared to fill the shoes of these veterans. There have been instances where youthful exuberance led to political missteps, such as the situation with Morgan in Clarendon. His conflict with a councillor, who eventually defected and won as a member of the opposing party, highlights the complexity of political manoeuvring. Although both the JLP and PNP have brought in fresh talents, political success requires more than just intelligence; it demands keen insight and strategy.

The JLP currently faces a challenge in finding leaders who possess the appeal of past figures like Hugh Shearer, Pearnel Charles, or Donald Sangster. Meanwhile, Mark Golding, the Opposition Leader, is gaining ground in the polls, which might reflect more about the state of the JLP than the PNP.

As for other political parties, their prospects seem bleak, akin to a snowball's chance in a hot climate. There was talk of a new and dynamic party emerging, but it quickly fizzled out, much like the funds that once supported it. The NDM, while still in existence, has yet to make a significant impact.

Is it time for a change? What kind of change remains to be seen. Only time will tell what the future holds for Jamaica's political landscape.

What do you think?

NWC Report from Kingston

Dear Mr Derby,

The residents of Three Oaks Gardens are now at a point of absolute frustration with the NWC; every so often there is a heavy discharge of sewerage effluent in the gully that runs behind properties spanning Three Oaks Road, which, we believe runs from the Molynes Plant.

Several calls made to NWC have gone unanswered; we have also beseeched a high-ranking public official who is a resident in the neighbourhood & he has not assisted very much; he too says he has tried.

Mr Derby, please help us!
