KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) has won Thursday’s by-election in the Cassia Park Division of the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC) – the municipal body which runs the affairs of the capital city.
The JLP's Beverly Prince defeated and Sheryn Bromfield of the People's National Party's (PNP).
With just over ten thousand registered voters in the division, there were reports that just over 23% of them went to the polls.
The seat became vacant in May following the death of Bromfield’s mother, Councillor Cynthia Burrell.
