PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell

The People's National Party has written to Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake calling for the police high command to ensure the Jamaica Constabulary Force operates with fairness and professionalism in addressing intimidation and vote-buying concerns during the campaign period.
In the letter, PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell said the party received a report of thugs in the Lyssons area tearing down orange flags and firing shots Thursday morning.
He said the party has also been alerted to plans by some people to engage in vote-buying activities in both the Aenon Town and Morant Bay Divisions.
Dr. Campbell said intimidation and vote-buying serve to undermine the integrity of Jamaica's electoral system.
He said the PNP recognises the critical role law enforcement plays in preserving the sanctity of the electoral process.
This is why he said officers, especially those from the Protective Services Division, deployed during this time, must be vigilant in identifying and addressing these breaches.
Dr. Campbell said turning a blind eye to such offences not only compromises the credibility of the elections but also erodes public trust in law enforcement.
