Two first time members of parliament elect have pledged to focus on improving the lives of their constituents.

Nekeisha Burchell of the People’s National Party (PNP), who won in St. James Southern and Delano Seiveright of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) who secured victory in St. Andrew North Central say they will focus on the youth and infrastructure among other things.

Ms. Burchell who unseated the JLP’s Homer Davis said the win was not about her but about the people of St. James Southern.

And Mr. Seiveright who defeated the PNP’s Christopher Henry, in St. Andrew North Central expressed gratitude to his supporters.

He said he will continue to lobby for road improvements and reliable water supply.
