Another member of the Peoples National Party (PNP) has switched allegiance to the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
Councillor for the John’s Hall Division in Manchester, Faith Sampson Nickle, crossed the political floor on July 9 during a meeting of the Manchester Municipal Corporation. She becomes the second councillor from the PNP to switch sides in 2020, following Kari Douglas in February.
The decision means the PNP’s majority in the Manchester Municipal Corporation has been reduced to eight to seven. That’s eight for the PNP and seven JLP Councillors.
