The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People’s National Party (PNP) are to face off in the second political debate later today.

They began the series on Saturday with a debate on social issues.

This evening, the debate will be centred on the economy.

The JLP will be represented by Fayval Williams, Dr. Christopher Tufton and Dr. Dana Morris-Dixon.

The final debate – the leadership debate with the JLP’s Dr. Andrew Holness and the PNP’s Mark Golding – is scheduled for Thursday, August 28.

The debates are being staged at the Creative Production & Training Centre in Kingston, and will be broadcast live on radio and television.

It will also be streamed on websites and via social media.
