Former Senator Warren Newby says he is humbled to have been selected to represent the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in Clarendon North Western in the next general election.

Mr. Newby became the JLP’s candidate for the constituency after winning an internal election yesterday.

He received 389 votes while his main rival Corey Dunkley received just over 150 votes.

Dr. Clovis Nelson secured 8 votes.

Delegates from all four divisions voted.

The election came after the JLP’s Phillip Henriques decided not to seek re-election as Member of Parliament.

Mr. Newby will be going up against the People’s National Party’s Richard Azan.

Speaking with reporters following his win, Mr. Newby expressed gratitude for the victory and outlined plans to unite JLP members in Clarendon North Western.
