The Electoral Commission of Jamaica (ECJ) has received an application for the registration of a fourth political party.
The application is from the Jamaica Progressive Party (JPP), which is led by Gilbert Alexander Edwards.
A news release Wednesday from the ECJ said the JPP applied for registration on May 28.
The ECJ said the JPP is provisionally registered as it fulfilled the requirements of the Representation of the People Act.
The party's slogan is 'A prosperous Jamaica for all' and its identifying colours are grey, purple and lavender.
The Electoral Commission is in the process of conducting investigations pertaining to the JPP's submissions.
Members of the public also have 30 days to object to the application.
Presently, the country's three registered political parties are the Jamaica Labour Party, the Peoples' National Party, both registered in 2018, and the United Independents' Congress, which was registered last year.
