JLP

'On behalf of the Parliamentary Opposition, I offer condolences to Dr Baugh's wife, family, friends, and his colleagues in the Jamaica Labour Party,' Dr Phillips said.

The first was that the two leading political parties, the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party, in their pursuit of power, which they elevated above good policy, aligned communities behind the parties and against each other.

The high profile suspect resides in and essentially controls the Kingston neighborhood known as Tivoli Gardens, a key constituency for the Jamaica Labour Party. Jamaica's processing of the extradition request has been subjected to unprecedented delays, unexplained disclosure of law enforcement information to the press, and unfounded allegations questioning U.S.

As evidenced in the recent electoral contest between the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party, "eye-witness" television news coverage tends to emphasize visual imagery and emotional appeals over the substance of rational public discourse.

One of those neighbourhoods is the deceptively bucolic sounding Tivoli Gardens, a political district that was the seat of Edward Seaga, the leader of the opposition Jamaica Labour Party at that time.

The latest outbreak is the latest episode in a long-running feud between gangs loyal to the ruling Jamaica Labour Party and opposition People's National Party.

Sir Alexander Bustamante, the former chief minister, and the JLP (Jamaica Labour Party), of which he was leader, articulated that apprehension and won both the referendum and the ensuing general election.

In the latest shootings, 13 people - including a 10-yearold girl - have been killed in the fighting that broke out three weeks ago in the Mountain View area between rival gangs that support the governing People's National Party and the opposition Jamaica Labour Party.

"South" is a stronghold for Seaga's Jamaica Labour Party (J.L.P.).

The principal contestants were drawn from the two mainstream political parties that have dominated Jamaican political life since the late 1940s: the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) whose titular head is the present Prime Minister, Edward Seaga; and the People's National Party (PNP) led by former Prime Minister Michael Manley.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness has in the past reiterated the ruling Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) position on the CCJ, which is to reserve the decision to embrace the CCJ for a referendum.
