George Wright Exits JLP: Shocking Decision
A Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) release, this afternoon states that Mr George Wright, Member of Parliament for Westmoreland Central has submitted a letter of resignation to JLP General Secretary, Dr. Horace Chang, terminating his membership in the Jamaica Labour Party.
The JLP has accepted Mr. Wright’s resignation and notes his stated intention to address matters in the public domain, and his continued belief in the policies and programs of the government and the Party.
A video circulated nationally showing a couple fighting. People suspected the man in the video might be the MP, though he denied any physical confrontation with the woman, and no one came forward to report any abuse. The police were therefore unable to take any action. Public pressure continued to build up and there was talk about the abuse of women. This brought significant pressure on the JLP to take action. The party could not take any action because Mr. Wright did not admit to doing the act and the alleged female made no comment on the matter.
Public pressure continued to build on the person asking him to admit or deny the incident. The MP did neither and he has now resigned as the JLP representative for Westmoreland Central. It means therefore that a by-election will not be held for that constituency.
In the meantime, pressure is building up in the PNP as controversy continues to surround the party’s General Secretary, Dayton Campbell.
