The Jamaica First Movement (JFM) and the Jamaica Progressive Party (JPP) have reportedly dissolved their political alliance citing differences in the Parties’ foundational principles.

Both Parties had joined to contest the September 3 General Election, under the name of the JPP, which is the only registered party of the 2.

Together they nominated 43 candidates on August 18.

In a statement today, the JFM said the decision to dissolve the alliance follows a series of recent respectful and candid discussions between both parties.

It said while both parties entered the partnership with shared hopes for national transformation, they have come to recognize that the foundational principles—particularly regarding the structure and vision for a government of national unity—were not as fully aligned as initially understood and have since revealed substantive differences that were not apparent at the outset.

The JFM said it remains committed to the covenant made with the Jamaican people: that is to pursue a transparent and unified approach to governance grounded in the principle of national unity, while guided by the values of justice, truth, and righteousness.

It said the JPP, in turn, maintains its own humanitarian form of government committed to righteousness, integrity, and accountability.

The statement said with this realignment, the parties part ways with mutual respect and a shared desire to serve Jamaica—each in accordance with its own convictions and commitments.
