PNP consults legal team about NE St. Ann vacant seat

Permalink

The People's National Party (PNP) says it will be consulting with its legal team to discuss the way forward after the Supreme Court declared the North East St Ann seat held by the Jamaica Labour Partys (JLP) Shahine Robinson vacant.

Party Chairman Robert Pickersgill says a meeting is also scheduled for today with PNP officers to discuss the matter.

The North East St. Ann seat was declared vacant on Monday at a pre-trial hearing in the Supreme Court after lawyers for Mrs. Robinson failed to show up.

Mrs. Robinson also failed to comply with the relevant civil procedure rules by the May 7 deadline given by the court.

The ruling means that there is a two-seat majority in the House for the Government.

Robinson's disqualification follows an election petition from the Peoples National Partys Manley Bowen who, after the September 3, 2007 poll which stated that the former North East St Ann MP was ineligible to sit in Parliament because she held US citizenship.
