Opposition calls on PM to clarify statements made by Constitutional Affairs Minister Malahoo Forte about timing of next general election

The Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) is calling on Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness to clarify statements made by Constitutional Affairs Minister Marlene Malahoo Forte about the timing of the next General Election.

This after Mrs. Malahoo Forte said it is not constitutionally correct to say that the next General Election is due by September.

She was speaking at a meeting of Parliament’s Joint Select Committee on the Constitution Amendment Republic Act yesterday.

She further explained that the life of the Parliament is not fixed.

In a statement today, PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell expressed concern about the Minister’s statements.

He called on the Prime Minister to reassure the nation that there will be no attempt to delay the election or interfere with the constitutional timeline.
