Matthew Samuda Expected to be Nominated for NESA By-Election

The Jamaica Labour Party’s, JLP, Matthew Samuda, is expected to be nominated on Wednesday afternoon.

Samuda was expected to have a clear run to parliament, after the People’s National Party announced it would not field a candidate in the September 30 by-election.

But he will face at least one challenger, following the nomination of David Fritz Anderson as an independent candidate.

But Samuda is still the overwhelming favourite, in a seat the JLP has held since 2001.
